Abstract
Potential members of the WTO increasingly find themselves exposed to sustainability scrutiny in WTO accession negotiations. This contribution maps this phenomenon by
first discussing the potential effects an accession to the WTO can have on urban and rural development. Subsequently, we look into the legal and factual procedures of WTO accession, before we turn to describing the sustainability commitments in these negotiations.
