English term or phrase: hijacking
Such rulings have raised the ire of anti-globalization advocates and made the WTO a dirty word in many circles. Is the trade regime subverting democracy by allowing judges in Geneva to override domestic legislation, as these critics charge? Or is it helping nations achieve better outcomes by preventing protectionist groups from hijacking the domestic political process for their narrow interests? The reality is a bit of both. The appellate body rulings are not nearly as crude as many of the critics suggest. The rulings recognize the need to respect national differences in values and standards.

Aggiustare


Explanation:
Credo che la parola derivi dal programma Hijackthis, un programma che rintraccia e aggiusta gli errori o i virus di un computer.
Io tradurrei quindi la parola con aggiustare

dirottare


Explanation:
Io manterrei l'immagine che mi sembra azzeccata girando la frase (ma allungandola), del tipo: "impedendo ai gruppi protezionisti di dirottare il volere politico nazionale verso la salvaguardia dei propri interessi"
