Reviews

'The merging tensions between the norms - legal and otherwise - of free trade and public health protection related to tobacco, alcohol, and food have been receiving increasing scholarly attention, but, until now, there has not been a relatively comprehensive discussion of the principal issues framing these tensions. Writing chiefly from a legal perspective, and focussing purposefully on the World Trade Organization's (WTO) relationships with these three major public health areas, McGrady's Trade and Public Health: The WTO, Tobacco, Alcohol and Diet addresses many facets of the key issues.' World Trade Review
