Criticism is often made that the WTO Agreement has the potential to undermine human rights and accentuates the disruptive effects of globalization. Nevertheless, justice in sovereign terms is different from justice in human terms. This difference is perhaps best illustrated by means of a theory. This book puts forward such a theory. The theory posits that law does justice in order to sustain the good of the community. Justice in relation to the good can be thought about either according to the good’s distribution ex ante or its correction ex post after injury. The metric of distributive justice is equality, whereas the metric of corrective justice is fairness, or what is appropriate. This dualism is exhibited in thinking about WTO arrangements and is replicated in WTO law. In one mode WTO law is about the attainment of equality by means of obligations. In a second mode WTO law is about the attainment of fairness by means of rights. The two modes of law interact over time. Ultimately, they depend upon each other to generate a third, overarching structure in the form of interdependent obligations and rights manifested in a sui generis legal system.

The second step in the DOC Process is Organize. The Organize step is the transition step between the divergent and convergent thinking steps. The Organize step has characteristics of both the divergent and convergent steps, but is much more than solely a transition step. This is the step where the information generated in the Diverge step is synthesized. This step requires holistic and integrative thinking. It is a crucial step in either refining a problem or a solution. This step is also key to creating personas from the abundance of needs, wants and desires that are uncovered during open-ended interviews.

The Organize step has three components–categorize, connect and cause. Information generated via the divergent-thinking activities are first categorized. In the connect phase, idea-fragments that were previously categorized together are combined. Connections between categories or natural sequences are also identified. The connect phase is a critical component in persona development. The final phase of the Organize step is cause. In this phase, causal relationship between the data categories are uncovered.
