Full Description
The WTO is one of the most important intergovernmental organizations in the world yet it is still poorly understood in terms of how it functions as an organization and the scope of its authority and power. This book, written by an outstanding team of WTO law specialists, provides a comprehensive overview of the law and practice of the WTO . The authors start with the institutional law of the WTO ( e.g. the sources of law and remedies of the Dispute Settlement system) then tackle the principal substantive obligations of the WTO regime (e.g. tariffs, quotas, MFN). They then move on to consider unfair trade, regional trading arrangements and developing countries. In a final section the book deals with the consequences of globalization: firstly where WTO law confronts legal regimes governing issues of competition and intellectual property and secondly where free trade is seen to be incompatible with certain human rights. This book will be of interest to all scholars, students and practitioners seeking to understand this pivotal yet controversial international organization and world trade in general.
