Published By: ICRIER on eSS | Published Date: October, 11 , 2006This paper takes a detailed look at the SSM and analyzes its usefulness for developing
countries. It also explores how the concept of a special agricultural safeguard has evolved in
the present round of negotiations and what are the country positions on SSMs in the Doha
Round. The paper then proposes a price-trigger-based SSM instrument which is consistent
with the goals spelt out in the Doha Development Agenda and satisfies most of the desired
features of a safeguard instrument. [Working Paper No. 189]
