Abstract
This chapter analyzes the World Trade Organization (WTO) Secretariat's overlap management activities through two nested cases of trade-environment overlap management. It argues that the Secretariat helped create shared understandings of overlap management needs and redistributed capabilities among states to participate in overlap management politics. The Secretariat further shaped structural relations by enhancing developing country capacity to engage on environmental issues, and influenced productive power relations by shaping the way states and Panelists understand and respond to environmental issues. The chapter argues that in filtering information on trade and environment issues to its Membership through legitimated channels, the Secretariat, perhaps inadvertently, reinforces existing developed country norms and understandings of the relationship between trade and enviornmental issues. It highlights how the subsitutability of secretariat functions and the solidification of state preference varies between developed and developing countries and the problems that arise from this disparity.
