Future challenges for the world trading system Index This book provides a detailed overview of the current landscape of international trade law and would be helpful for any reader looking to understand not just what international trade law is, but how it has evolved and will continue to evolve over time.' -- Jessica Pierucci, International Journal of Legal Information 'The second edition of this Advanced Introduction to International Trade Law is even better than the first - an accomplishment indeed. At a time when there is so much misunderstanding about trade and the rules of trade, two of the leading experts in the field, Michael Trebilcock and Joel Trachtman explain the basics in a way that any reader can understand and from which all readers can benefit.' -- James Bacchus, University of Central Florida, US 'This Advanced Introduction provides an excellent succinct yet accurate summary of the international trade rules applicable, inter alia, to trade in goods, services, intellectual property, and investment. It also explores international standards, social issues such as development, environment, labour, human rights, and it addresses the institutional framework and the future of the world trading system. As an experienced practitioner in this field, I highly recommend this book to government officials, business people, and students who will all get a clear interdisciplinary tour d'horizon in the field of international trade.' -- Gabrielle Marceau, University of Geneva, Switzerland and Senior Counsellor at the WTO 'Today's politicians and politics have generated more public interest in international trade - and trade law - than ever before. Paradoxically, international commerce and its rules have never been more misunderstood. Trebilcock and Trachtman tackle this problem by providing a fresh look at the motives for trade as well as the rules of the game.' --Chad P. Bown, Peterson Institute for International Economics, US 'This is an important book on trade law by two of the smartest, and most highly regarded, experts on international trade law today. As politicians and an ill-informed and compliant press in the US have imperiled the world trading system in recent years, Professors Trebilcock and Trachtman provide a much-needed corrective.
