Resumo: | The intensification of trade between countries has led to the need to regulate the conduct of trading partners. The World Trade Organization (WTO) forum emerged with the mission of arbitrating these disputes and making trade fairer. However, many countries choose not to participate in this forum because of the financial and legal resources required to conduct the proceedings. The purpose of this research was to verify how the relations within the WTO were configurated in 2014. We identified the dichotomy between central and emerging countries through the concept of forum shopping. The most important actors in the network were shown to be the United States and the European Union, whereas small economies had low participation, especially African and Central American countries. Thus, this study shows that many WTO’s members do not use its forum, which allows inferring they choose regional forums due to the restriction of resources. |

El foro de la Organización Mundial del Comercio surgió con la misión de arbitrar esas disputas y hacer el comercio más justo. Sin embargo, muchos países optan por no participar en ese foro a causa de los recursos financieros y legales necesarios para conducir el proceso. El objetivo de esta investigación fue verificar cómo las relaciones dentro de la OMC se configuraron en 2014. Identificamos la dicotomía entre países centrales y emergentes a través del concepto de forum shopping. Los Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea se revelaron como los actores más importantes de la red, mientras que las economías pequeñas tuvieron baja participación, especialmente países de África y Centroamérica. Así, este estudio muestra que muchos miembros de la OMC no utilizan su foro, lo que permite inferir su elección de foros regionales debido a la restricción de recursos.A intensificação do comércio entre os países levou à necessidade de regular a conduta dos parceiros comerciais.
