This book provides a short, straightforward account of the basic structure and principles of international trade law written by one of the leading authorities in this field.

The book covers, in a series of short chapters, all the major issues in international trade law, including:-

  • dispute settlement;
  • the Most Favoured Nation Principle;
  • preferential trade agreements;
  • the National Treatment Principle;
  • contingent protection laws (anti-dumping, countervailing duties and safeguards);
  • trade and agriculture;
  • trade and services;
  • trade and investment;
  • trade-related intellectual property rights;
  • trade policy and domestic health;
  • safety, environmental and labour regulation;
  • and trade policy and developing countries.
Each chapter sets out the basic provisions and relevant GATT/WTO agreements governing the issues in question, the central issues or conflicts that have arisen in the interpretation and application of these provisions, leading GATT/WTO case law generated by the formal dispute settlement processes of the GATT/WTO, and unresolved issues that remain a matter of controversy.

Understanding Trade Law will be a beneficial resource for undergraduate and graduate students studying the regulation of international trade, policy-makers in government, members of national and international NGOs with a special interest in international economic issues, as well as members of domestic interest groups concerned with trade issues.
