Synopsis

This is an introductory text on international trade law with a particular focus on the law and agreements of the World Trade Organization. Guzman (law, U. of California at Berkeley, US) and Pauwelyn (international law, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Switzerland) have sought to combine the US case law approach with elements of the European textbook method in order to explain basic concepts and rules and to show how they manifest in excerpted disputes, practical problems, and case studies. Following background information on economics, politics, and institutional structure and history, material is presented in relation to the structure of the major WTO agreements, with chapters discussing the WTO dispute settlement mechanism, trade in goods under the core principles and exceptions of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, trade remedies, technical and non-tariff barriers to merchandise trade, trade in goods, trade in services, protection of intellectual property rights, and issues of development and the WTO's treatment of developing countries.
