Book Description

ISBN-10: 0198298749 | ISBN-13: 978-0198298748 | Publication Date: October 19, 2000

This volume, built on a recent series of courses at the Academy of European Law in Florence, addresses the overlapping regulatory trade regimes of the WTO, EU, and NAFTA. The various contributions deal with discrete areas of the international trading system. The coexistence of regimes, often governing simultaneously complex transnational transactions, is the focus of the volume.

Editorial Reviews

Review

`Although easily readable, the audience for this volume is primarily lawyers or persons trained in the law. ... Together ... the essays constitute a coherent introduction to the evolution, major institutions, issues and developments in international trade law. ...Robert Howse's essay on 'Adjudicative Legitimacy and Treaty Interpretation in International Trade' .. provides a good critique of the major legitimacy and overnance issues associated with the regulatory instruments of international trade as well as a good theoretical framework for understanding them.' Interights Bulletin Vol. 13, No. 4, 2001

`this is an excellent, thought-provoking collection of essays which can be read with profit by both European and international lawyers. There has been much discussion coparing the institutional stuctures of the EU and the WTO, in particular about whether one can speak of the "constitution" of the WTO. This volume concentrates rather on the substantive law of the two organisations. This departure is to be welcomed.' Matthew Happold International and Comparative Law Quarterly
