Reviews
'Mike Moore makes a strong case for the benefits of free trade
and open markets. But he warns that global governance needs
to be rethought to cope with the challenges of globalization.
A wide ranging and thought-provoking book.'
George
Soros, author of George Soros on Globalization
'Mike,
a man essentially educated by the brute force of real-life
challenges, has produced in this book an honest account of
his very fine tenure as WTO Director-General. Those curious
about either the evolution of the multilateral trading system,
or interesting leaders, will find this book very enjoyable.'
Ernesto
Zedillo, Former President of Mexico
‘Mike
Moore is that rare politician: a doer who is also a thinker.
He pulled off Doha, putting the bumbling failure of Seattle
behind us. In this fascinating book, he demonstrates that
he can also speak to intellectuals, placing trade liberalization,
indeed globalization, into an ambitious but realistic framework
that can serve as an effective antidote to the anti-globalizers.
And he does it elegantly and articulately. New Zealand has
two great voices: Kiri Te Kanawa and Mike Moore.’

‘A
World Without Walls is excellent at giving a glimpse of what
goes on behind closed doors in the negotiating process, viewed
from the position of an official mandated to bring together
the different parties and to secure an agreement.’
Times Higher Education Supplement
‘…
a fascinating read … Moore is a very gifted writer. He
supports his arguments through a wide range of sources and
an extensive and reflective discussion which makes this book
interesting and relevant to a wider audience beyond just academia
or professionals interested in trade negotiations.’
International Affairs
‘A
well-written and extremely readable book which provides a
useful introduction to the reality of globalisation.’
