The Regulation of International Trade
Files
Description
The conclusion of the GATT Uruguay Round negotiations, as well as the emergence of regional trading arrangements and blocs, has underlined the significance of international trade regulation in global politics and economics. As new trade issues emerge and we look into the future of the world trading system, it is important that we understand its basic workings. The Regulation of International Trade introduces the rules and institutions that govern international trade. The authors examine the theory and functioning of international legal regimes, including those of the GATT/WTO (World Trade Organization), the Canada-US FTA and NAFTA, as well as some aspects of the European Union. Attention is also given to the rise of protectionism through the use of internal trade remedy law, including a detailed comparative analysis of the application of trade remedies to dumping and subsidies in Canada, the USA and the European Union. Settlement of disputes in international trade is given detailed treatment, as well. The book contains individual chapters on trade in agricultural products, trade and development and international labour mobility. In addition, it contains detailed discussion of the 'new era' trade issues, such as trade and investment, intellectual property rights, and trade and environment. The book fully reflects the results of the Uruguay Round of trade negotiations. Throughout the insights of classic and contemporary economics and poltical economy are related to current issues facing the world trading system. As a comprehensive text The Regulation of International Trade will be a valuable guide to students of economics, law, and international relations.
