Full Description
International Trade Law of the WTO provides a comprehensive study of the WTO multilateral trading regime with textual and contextual analysis of every provision of all GATT 1994 Understandings and WTO Agreements. This complete coverage of the entire spectrum of the WTO international trade law will enable readers to know the system in its entirety as well as any particular aspect of it. The text highlights and critically comments upon the existing and emerging new challenges for the WTO, notably the Singapore Issues and non-trade concerns (the environment, human rights, and poverty alleviation issues), and the problems and prospect of their governance under the WTO. Each of the book's 25 chapters contain an Australian segment explaining the role, interests, rights, and obligations of Australia as a trading nation under individual GATT 1994 understanding and WTO covered agreement.
