Title
Russia in talks to join WTO
Summary
After 18 years of negotiations over the WTO (World Trade Organization) Russia is on the verge of joining. This would be a huge membership as Russia has a very large amount of exports to Europe and this begins to streamline the cooperation between the states. Georgia has the power to veto Russia’s involvement in WTO and waited to decide because they are longtime rivals.
Analysis
This is a great opportunity for globalization and trade. Now that Russia will trade with Georgia their cooperation will result in a better policy between countries. When states work together and trade opens up then a shared security comes from wealth. This is a key time for the WTO and they must take advantage of this opportunity.
