Resumo
O boicote dos Estados Unidos ao Órgão de Apelação da OMC tem sido amplamente analisado pela literatura. Os autores buscaram entender suas motivações e implicações investigando o comportamento recente do país em relação ao Mecanismo de Solução de Controvérsias. Ao fazê-lo, essa literatura negligenciou outras facetas da OMC e atribuiu uma relevância desproporcional ao boicote, interpretando-o como um desengajamento completo do sistema e como uma sentença de morte para a OMC. Neste artigo, buscou-se abordar empiricamente essa lacuna, analisando o comportamento americano na OMC como um todo. Como resultado, tornou-se evidente que, apesar das críticas ao DSM, os EUA mantiveram-se engajados na OMC. Assim, conclui- se que o seu compromisso com o comércio baseado em regras é mais forte do que o retratado, possibilitando uma perspectiva otimista sobre o futuro da OMC.
