Publisher's Synopsis
"The Regulation of International Trade" introduces the rules and institutions that govern international trade in the post-Uruguay Round era. The authors draw their analysis from classic and contemporary literature on trade and political economy. The book includes a discussion of: the evolution of international trade theory and the related institutions; the functioning of international trade agreements and trade blocs - GATT/WTO, Canada-US FTA and aspects of the European Union; trade remedy laws in the USA, Canada and the EU, including rules on subsidies and dumping; dispute settlement and the World Trade Organization; and emerging areas for trade rules and negotiations (services, investment, intellectual property, environment). As a comprehensive text on the major issues in international trade, this work serves as a guide to students of economics, law and international relations.
