The purpose of this study is to analyze the link between international trade and development. The regulation of international trade by international organizations will be explored. In the post-WTO scenario, there is the formation of a new governance in relation to international trade, with a tendency to appreciation of international relations at the Westphalian style. This phenomenon is worrying , especially in light of Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the UN, which require a multilateral regulation of trade and participation of international organizations , particularly the WTO , for implementation their goals.
