EJIL（2009），Vol. 20 No. 4，1063-1071 doi：10.1093/ejil/chp 099在《WTO治理的隐秘世界》一书中，Andrew Lang和Joanne Scott正确地指出WTO委员会是WTO治理研究不足的地方。他们的分析采用了主要基于全球技术官僚社会学的框架，这些框架聚焦了通常不被过多考虑的WTO行为，但他们的描述和分析是不完整的，因为他们忽略了国家作为指导其代表在委员会活动的主体的核心作用，以及WTO委员会内部和周围的权力政治。只有同时考虑国家、国家利益、参与委员会审议的国家的相对权力以及作为政府代表的WTO委员会参与者，才能更全面地理解和评价作为治理场所的WTO委员会。
EJIL (2009), Vol. 20 No. 4, 1063–1071 doi: 10.1093/ejil/chp099 In ‘The Hidden World of WTO Governance’, Andrew Lang and Joanne Scott rightly identify WTO committees as an understudied site of WTO governance. Their analysis deploys frameworks based largely on the sociology of global technocracy, lenses which bring into focus WTO behaviour not usually given much consideration, yet their description and analysis are incomplete, for they miss the central role of states as principals directing the activities of their representatives on the committees, as well as the power politics within and around WTO committees. Only by also considering the state, state interests, the relative power of states engaged in committee deliberation, and WTO committee participants as government representatives can we more fully understand and assess WTO committees as sites of governance.
