Review
Praise for the previous edition:

'This is probably the best book on international trade available in English ... unlike many books that exist on this topic, this volume is relatively comprehensible.' - Kenneth Woodside, University of Guelph

'The institutional/legal issues at the centre of current trade policy debate are splendidly dealt with in this book ... this makes the book a very useful text for students of both economics and international law.' - Nigel Grimwade, South Bank University

[This volume] is thought-provoking in so many ways (organization and structure, ideas expressed, its interdisciplinary approach to the regulation of international trade) ... a must for students but also for trade practitioners in any capacity.' - Petros C. Mavroidis, University of Neuchâtel

From the Back Cover

Drawing on a wide variety of classic and contemporary sources, respected authors Howse and Trebilcock 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.

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 third edition includes full coverage of new developments including the Doha trade round, attitudes towards the Kyoto protocol and the growing body of WTO dispute resolution case law.
