This review is from: Handbook of International Trade: Economic and Legal Analyses of Trade Policy and Institutions (Blackwell Handbooks in Economics) (Hardcover)

If you thought topics in international trade might be a little dry, think again. Volume II of the Handbook of International Trade [Speak, Memory (Everyman's Library)] continues the surprising precedent set by Volume I. Once you get a copy of this sleek, well-designed tome in hand you won't be able to put it down. Sports a hot pink body-heat-activated self-adhesive cover designed in the best dada tradition [The Posthuman Dada Guide: tzara and lenin play chess (Public Square)]. Should you find yourself unsure of where to dig into this moveable feast, overwhelming consensus suggests you begin with "Unintentional Breach in the DSU of the WTO", following that up immediately with "Dumping in a Linear Model of Trade with Multiple Retail Channels". Tasty morsels abound; don't neglect "Perverse Consequences of the GATT" and "Predatory Dumping", now standard reading for anyone even dabbling in the fields of either business or law. Endless hours of entertainment and enlightenment are in store for anyone with the sense to acquire this volume. [Note: Not available for trade or unintentional lease. Anti-dumping regulations in multiple retail channels may apply.]
