Winner of the British Columbia Political Science Association Weller Prize for the best book published by a BC political scientist in 2001-2002 'Governing Global Trade by Theodore Cohn fills an important gap in the literature on international trade policy. It provides an invaluable, systemic study of how the plurilateral organisations (such as the OECD, G7/8, the Quad and bodies representing developing country interests) have shaped the evolution of trade policy from the beginnings of the GATT through to the current day. The book provides an important insight into the multi-layered nature of international trade negotiation that has been often overlooked in works that focus on the World Trade Organisation alone.' Stephen Woolcock, International Relations Department, London School of Economics and Political Science 'Recommended. General readers and upper-division undergraduate and graduate students of international trade and economic history.' Choice 'Anyone interested in the post-1945 history of the international trade system and its current institutional problems will find this book a useful addition to the burgeoning trade policy literature. Cohn provides a comprehensive and historically rich account...' International Affairs 'The book is well researched and very rich in detail. Also, it is comprehensive, spanning the history of half a century of multilateral trade negotiations. It fills an important gap in the literature concerning institutional linkages among various formal and informal institutions on trade...it should be read by anyone interested in the politics of the global trade regime.' International Relations of the Asia-Pacific
