 The Role of Contextual Factors in the Launching of Trade Rounds - John M. Curtis
In retrospect, the contextual factors that would drive and shape the Kennedy Round were already incubating during the Dillon Round: these were the emergence of persistent balance of payments problems in the United States and elsewhere, and the reactions of governments in devising creative, inside-the-border solutions to tough border problems.
The Kennedy Round generated by far the largest gains in tariff reduction in the history of the GATT up to that time (they are even more impressive if one considers that the opening Geneva Round gains were in place before there was a GATT!).
In short, there was a singularly poor alignment of contextual factors prior to Seattle, quite apart from the travails of WTO members themselves in setting an acceptable and feasible agenda, the poor organization and chairmanship of the conference, the clash of cultures, and the clash of interests on the substantive aspects.

For the Kennedy Round, a new approach to tariff negotiations was introduced.
During the Kennedy Round, the negotiations went beyond MFN tariffs for the first time, leading in particular to the conclusion of the Anti-Dumping Code, the first multilateral GATT agreement on non-tariff measures.
This Round was also the starting-point for the recognition of the concept of non-reciprocity in trade negotiations between developed and developing countries and of the commitment by the developed countries to accord high priority to granting improved market access in products of export interest to the developing countries.

The complaint that rounds take too long to complete is actually a virtue because, as long as their eventual success remains a realistic prospect, it is the very existence of the negotiations that propels the bicycle forward and provides a bulwark against backsliding.
The Tokyo Round was in fact launched as part of the agreement, insisted upon by the United States, to restore fixed exchange rates among the major countries and terminate the import surcharge that it had instituted in August 1971—the most frontal assault on the principles of the GATT in the history of that institution.

 Kennedy Round of trade negotiations, 1964-67
The sixth round of multilateral negotiations, part of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade to reduce and stabilise tariffs, was the most ambitious attempt ever taken to lower barriers to world trade.
It opened on 4th May 1964 and was concluded on 30th June 1967.
The four main objectives of the Kennedy Round were the substantial reduction in tariffs; progress in elimination or reduction of non-tariff barriers to trade; inclusion for the first time in GATT negotiations of agriculture and reductions in barriers to exports of less developed countries.

 Revisiting U.S. Trade Policy: Decisions in Perspective
The Kennedy Round shifted from an approach that negotiated tariff cuts on an industry-by-industry basis to an across-the-board basis, and the Tokyo Round was the first to include non-tariff barriers such as subsidies and dumping.
Michael Blumenthal (deputy special trade representative in Geneva during the Kennedy Round, and Secretary of the Treasury during the Tokyo Round) recounts that few policymakers grasped the fundamentals of economics or the relationship of economics to politics.
Participants describe the difficulties faced by the Kennedy Round negotiators when tariff cuts were across-the-board rather than industry-by-industry, and as a consequence, much harder to sell as reciprocal cuts.
