Reviews

Dillon's presentation is both clear and precise. She provides generous references and detailed discussion of a series of leading cases This is a book which could be recommended to academics, practitioners and students interested not only in GATT/WTO law but also its application within the geographical limits of the EU. Dr Sideek Mohamed, Stockholm University The Law and Politics Book Review June 2003 .a very valuable contribution to an ongoing debate about the future of Europe's course on the way to global governance very readable accessible to a wider audience. As a textbook and casebook it should certainly be put on the reading list of International Economic Law classes. Christoph Herrmann, Bayreuth Common Market Law Review September 2003 It presents a useful tool for those seeking a more in-depth understanding of the WTO and its juridical relationship with the EU. I recommend International Trade and Economic Law and the European Union for academic law libraries, firm libraries, and even collections in public interest organizations that support active research, practice, or advocacy in the areas of international trade, the WTO, or the EU.
