The World Trade Organization: Legal, Economic and Political Analysis
Patrick F. Macrory, Arthur E. Appleton and Michael B. Plummer
Patrick Macrory, Director of the International Trade Law Center at ILI, is Editor-in-Chief of a comprehensive, three volume set of books titled “The World Trade Organization: Legal, Economic and Political Analysis”, which has just been published by Springer.
The core of the books is a section on the legal framework of the World Trade Organization, which contains detailed analyses of the GATT 1994 and each of the specialized WTO agreements, as well as a discussion of the institutional framework of the WTO. Chapters are also devoted to the WTO dispute resolution process, and the growing phenomenon of regional trade agreements. In addition, there are sections dealing with the political aspects of the WTO, such as the relationship between principles of international trade and issues concerning the environment, labor and human rights.
A series of country reports considers the WTO from the different perspectives of the individual members and applicants for membership, ranging from the United States and the European Union to Mongolia.
"The World Trade Organization” with over 3000 pages, promises to be the definitive reference work on the World Trade Organization for practitioners of trade law, economists, government officials and students interested in this highly specialized aspect of international law.
The price of “The World Trade Organization” is $799, and is sold only by Springer. To purchase, contact Springer at (212) 460-1500 or by e-mail at service-ny@springer.com. |
