The Regulation of International Trade, 4th Edition

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.
