Saturno devorando um filho: uma análise sobre a relação dual dos EUA com o comércio internacional e as perspectivas de uma “desparalisação” da OMC

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the motivations and process that led the United States to paralyze the Appellate Body of the World Trade Organization (WTO), an institution of which it was one of the main architects. To this end, a bibliographic review will be conducted based on Brazilian academic theses and dissertations on the WTO and US foreign policy, as well as articles referenced in these studies. The analysis will cover the history of the United States, from the pre-GATT system to the beginning of Donald Trump's second term, in order to identify the country's motivations at each stage of the system's modification. Based on this analysis, the study will discuss the main solutions for unfreezing the WTO, evaluating the feasibility of each one and presenting suggestions considered relevant.
