Abstract

The article analyses the consequences of WTO membership for transition countries. The analysis reveals the realization of potential benefits and reduction of risks and threats of WTO membership to be dependent upon a number of economic and political factors and achievable only in combination with them. This applies to growth of foreign direct investments, decline in corruption, and maintenance of a due level of domestic market protection.
