The GATT 1947 was an agreement for tariff reductions celebrated between 23 countries in Geneva. The way that state power affected its design can be observed through the negotiation process that led to the agreement. The negotiation process was conditioned by power right away in the sense that the United States, the biggest power in the western world, initiated negotiations with the United Kingdom. The interest of both these countries (and the countries of interest to them) determined who could participate in the Geneva negotiations. This shows how the most powerful actors established the parameters of the negotiation of the agreement. Power can also be observed effectively in the Geneva negotiations by the bargaining power of the different countries and how they were able to represent their interests in the agreement. However, in this too the US took center stage in the sense that the others bargained in reference to this country’s interests.
RESUMO: O GATT 1947 foi um acordo de redução tarifária celebrado por 23 países em Genebra. A forma como o poder estatal influenciou a sua forma pode ser observada através do processo de negociações que levaram ao acordo. O processo de negociações foi logo condicionado pelo poder na medida em que os EUA, a maior potência ocidental, iniciou negociações com o Reino Unido. O interesse de ambos os países determinou quem podia participar das negociações de Genebra. Mostrando isso como os actores mais poderosos estabeleceram os parâmetros da negociação do acordo. O poder também pode ser observado efectivamente nas negociações de Genebra através do “bargaining power” dos diferentes países e a capacidade que eles tiveram de representar os seus interesses no acordo. Porém, também aqui os EUA assumiram centralidade na medida em que os outros negociaram tendo como referência os seus interesses.
