Indeed the only serious risk from the Doha round’s “failure” is that rich countries would take their own rhetoric seriously and react in unproductive ways that prove self-fulfilling. The US, in particular, could intensify its pursuit of bilateral deals, by which it is able to impose increasingly inappropriate policy priorities on smaller nations.
实际上，多哈谈判“失败”唯一的真正危险是：富裕国家会相信自己的花言巧语，从而做出实现自我预言的错误反应。特别是美国可能会加紧订立双边协议，并借此把越来越不恰当的政策优势强加到小国身上。
