文档介绍：The Regulation of International Trade
The conclusion of the GATT Uruguay Round negotiations, as well as the emergence of
regional trading arrangements, 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 working.
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 GATT/WTO (World anization), the NAFTA (North
American Free Trade Agreement), 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
laws, including a parative analysis of the application of trade remedies to
dumping and subsidies in Canada, the USA and the European Union.
The book also contains individual chapters on trade in agricultural products, trade and
development, and technical standards. In addition, it contains a detailed discussion of ‘new
era’ trade issues, such as trade and investment, intellectual property rights, trade and
environment, trade and labour standards, and trade petition policy.
Throughout insights of classic and contemporary economics and political economy are
related to current issues facing the world trading system. As prehensive text The
Regulation of International Trade will be an invaluable guide to students of economics, trade,
politics and international relations.
