Drawing on a wide variety of classic and contemporary sources, respected authors Trebilcock and Howse here provide a critical analysis of the institutions and agreements that have shaped international trade rules. In light of the growing debate over globalization, they include special sections examinations of topics such as: agriculture services and trade-related intellectual property rights labor rights the environment migration. competition Drawing on previous highly praised editions, this comprehensive text is an invaluable guide to students of economics, law, politics and international relations. Now fully updated, this fourth edition includes full coverage of new developments including the Doha trade round, the proliferation of preferential trade agreements, the debate on trade, climate change and green energy, the response of the trading system to the 2007-2010 financial and economic crisis, the controversy over trade and exchange rate manipulation, and the growing body of WTO dispute resolution case law.
This fourth edition of a classic guide to international trade and economic law reflects a changing world order and the increased influence of emerging countries on the global scene. Key recent events including the Seventh Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization in Geneva and the United Nations Climate Summit are examined and assessed for their impact on ongoing trade procedures such as the Doha Development Agenda. The intertwining of national and inter-governmental interests are seen to have become increasingly complex and issues such as anti-dumping, intellectual property, labor rights and migration are very much to the fore. Trebilcock and Howse's book is nothing short of a bible of the subject and the fourth edition reflects the increasingly globalized world in which we live and the importance of a framework to govern it.
