This chapter examines the background and the key WTO disputes which triggered a policy shift in India towards the State playing a more proactive role in encouraging the building of trade-related legal capacity. The chapter examines the features of the unique trade-related capacity model chosen by India and how it differs from the alternate models established by other major developing countries that have an active profile in WTO dispute settlement. The chapter explores how the Indian model is more geared towards hybrid policy making in contrast to alternative trade-related legal capacity models employed by other WTO Members.
