National industrial subsidies are a major irritant in international trading relations. There have been many attempts to curb the damaging effects of subsidies on the international trading order; most have met with stiff oppostion and mixed success. Today the combination of industrial subsidies and the countervailing duties intended to combat them present one of the major threats to the international trading order.
Industrial Subsidies and Trade Friction is a comparative analysis of the instruments devised to regulate industrial subsidies and lessen the effects of countervailing duties.

Editorial Reviews

Review

A well-researched volume such as this one ... contributes to our understanding of the international economic system ... Given its focused presentation and wealth of facts, this volume could be useful in graduate courses dealing with international trade issues, and it surely will be of value to those who have an interest in subsidies, in protectionism in general, and in trade policy and the inevitably linked trade politics.
–The International Trade Journal
