Reviews

What all readers will find, however, is some excellent normative analysis of the WTO as currently constituted...Overall, this book is a very valuable, if somewhat theoretically limited, contribution to the body of literature on the WTO. All scholars with an interest in the WTO and its works will find much to inform and stimulate them between its covers. Prof Fiona Macmillan, International trade and law regulation, vol 12:2,
