The WTO is one of the most important intergovernmental organizations in the world, yet the way in which it functions as an organization and the scope of its authority and power are still poorly understood. This comprehensively revised new edition of the acclaimed work by an outstanding team of WTO law specialists, provides a complete overview of the law and practice of the WTO.
The authors begin with the institutional law of the WTO (such as the sources of law and remedies of the dispute settlement system), then tackle the principal substantive obligations of the WTO regime (including tariffs, quotas, and MFN). They then move on to consider unfair trade, regional trading arrangements, and developing countries. In its final section the book deals with the consequences of globalization: firstly where WTO law confronts legal regimes governing issues of competition and intellectual property, and secondly, where free trade is seen to be incompatible with certain human rights. This edition also includes new chapters on trade in agriculture and on government procurement and trade.

Review from previous edition [An] excellent contribution to a better understanding of the discipline...it should not be thought that only law students and those practising in the area may benefit... the book is a success not only because both theoretical and practical insights are put forward, but also because it reflects the geographical competence of the authors. Together they provide the reader with valuable information about the national laws and jurisprudence pertaining to trade in Japan, the USA and Europe... easy to read, it is all-encompassing...Chapter 21 at the very end of the book, in which consideration is given to the future challenges facing the WTO system, is remarkable...an attention-grabbing and lively discussion, which will be interesting to the lay reader and helpful for teaching staff.' (Galina Zukova, Yearbook of European Law)
