Reviews
'Do WTO agreements allow for 'efficient breach?' What purpose is served by WTO instruments regarding flexibility and escape? Are these instruments structured as well as possible? These are the central themes that Schropp examines in this important study. Scholars and policymakers alike will find his analysis valuable and illuminating.' Alan O. Sykes, Stanford University 'First-rate economists and trade lawyers have been increasingly turning their attention to understanding the nature of the WTO 'contract' and its implications for the working of its institutions such as the Dispute Settlement Mechanism. Simon Schropp, who uniquely combines both superb analytical expertise and legal experience in trade litigation, has written an invaluable book that offers novel insights that no serious student of the WTO can afford to ignore. Read, learn and enjoy.' Jagdish Bhagwati, Columbia University 'Schropp's work … is a very welcome input to an ongoing discussion regarding the shaping of the multilateral trading system. Simon Schropp is on top of the literature, and this volume displays it in excellent manner.' Petros C. Mavroidis, Columbia Law School, New York, University of Neuchâtel, and Research Fellow at the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR)
