Reviews
The Human Rights Impact of the World Trade Organisation...is the first full length scholarly monograph on the topic of trade and human rights...the literature on trade and human rights is still in the process of searching for a secure conceptual and theoretical footing, and it is one of the achievements of Harrison's work that he helps to move that process in a number of significant ways...the (quasi) draft Declaration on trade and human rights which Harrison offers in the concluding pages of Chapter 12 is admirably ambitious and could serve as a useful point of departure for future political activity. In many ways, it performs the same function in a few paragraphs that the book itself does on a larger scale: crystallising and clarifying some of the core normative claims at play in the trade and human rights debate, and encouraging us to think creatively about the institutional processes and other mechanisms by which 'social justice' concerns about the international trading system can be addressed. -- Andrew Lang * The Modern Law Review, 71(4) * The work is excellent in merging complex theoretical issues surrounding human rights norms and real-world situations and cases of globalization and increasing trade liberalization and integration. -- Wesley T. Milner * Law and Politics Book Review, Vol. 18 No.4 * ...a welcome addition to the growing literature in this field...Harrison not only provides a balanced and thoughtful analysis of the issues at the intersection of the international trade and human rights regimes, but he also provides pragmatic suggestions that can and should be built upon by both international institutions, national governments, and NGOs alike.
