Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Protests against the WTO were primarily driven by the perception that it was not paying enough attention to the interests of developing countries, and was instead controlled by wealthy, industrialized nations. This perceived lack of fairness led to widespread protests, particularly in developing nations. While issues like debt relief and opening trade relations with China were certainly important, they were not the primary drivers of the protests. American military and economic hegemony and the U.S. invasion of Iraq were not directly related to the protests against the WTO.
