This paper examines dynamics of trade liberalization negotiations under WTO Doha Round between 2001-2006. It tries to answer the following questions: - why the negotiations are so difficult?, - what are the main controversies?, - what would be the consequences of Doha failure?, - are there any alternatives to WTO multilateral trade negotiations? The paper describes modification of TRIPS ( Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights), which permits poor countries to import cheaper generic drugs against AIDS and other issues. Finally it makes some evaluation of benefits from trade liberalization for different groups. Doha Round includes a very complex and ambitious agenda for new WTO trade negotiations. The main aim of Doha Round, known also as Doha Development Round, is to bring benefits to developing countries giving them a better access do developed countries' markets with their agricultural products. It requires deep and costly structural reforms in many developed countries. Most developed countries are interested in opening the markets of developing countries in services and investment. North and South differ very much on the priorities for this Round of negotiations. From the moment the developing countries insisted that their priority should be discussed before the other issues, the negotiations become much more complicated. There has been a little progress during 5 years of Doha Round negotiations. There are still disagreements about direction of trade liberalization, especially in agriculture.

Linkages among international trade, economic growth and poverty eradication have gained again increased attention in policies of the World Bank which has been criticized for its uniformed attitude towards developing countries and to too rapid liberalization reforms. Paper tries to contribute to the debate on the World Bank's trade related activities on the basis of comparison of economic development of a group of the developing countries which have liberalized their trade relations with the assistance of the World Bank's trade related loans with a group of the countries which have not used them. The comparison is based on the analysis of index of determination trends and GDP growth rate trends are analysed using Richard's curve.

In 2000, a new round of WTO negotiations on services was launched, called the Uruguay Round agreement. These negotiations were conducted during the Doha Round in 2001. The talks aimed to increase the sectoral coverage of commitments. During the Doha Round the improvement of GATS commitments was offered, but the gap between offers and actual policy remains large. The best offers submitted so far improve current GATS commitments by about 10 per cent, but remain on average twice as restrictive as actual policy. They generate no additional market opening.
