World Trade Law ― Text, Materials and Commentary

This third edition of one of the leading textbooks on world trade law offers what is in a number of ways a unique perspective on this important subject. Combining the best aspects of both casebook and treatise, this comprehensive textbook provides both detailed explanations and analyses of the law to help understand the issues, as well as case extracts to offer a flavor of the judicial reasoning of trade adjudicators. Moreover, the book is truly global in outlook, being equally useful for students of international trade law in the UK, Europe, the US, Asia, and elsewhere in the world. This updated edition includes in-depth discussions of the most recent developments in international trade jurisprudence, setting out important precedents that help establish the boundaries between global trade rules and domestic national autonomy. In an era when political developments place even more importance on international trade, this book will be essential reading for all students, scholars and practitioners in the field.
