Product Description
As the leading student text in the field, this title provides both a detailed examination of the law of the World Trade Organization and a clear introduction to the basic principles and underlying logic of the world trading system. It explores the institutional aspects of the WTO together with the substantive law. New to this edition are examinations of the WTO rules on the protection of intellectual property and the rules on technical barriers to trade and sanitary and phytosanitary measures. Assignments are integrated throughout to allow students to assess their understanding, while chapter summaries reinforce learning. In addition further-reading sections have been added to each chapter and exercises have been included to draw on primary sources and real-life trade scenarios, enabling students to hone their practical and analytical skills. The title is an essential tool for any student of the WTO, either at undergraduate or postgraduate level.

Great guide for students of WTO Law. April 27, 2009
K G R (Arlington, VA USA)
Van den Bosschle's textbook "Law and Policty of the WTO" is a wonderful textbook on WTO Law and Policy. He writes on all aspects of WTO Law and Practice. As a textbook, it is obviously basic and assumes a relatively elementary level of prior knowledge. The book is already quite large, but at times I have felt like it's coverage lacks certain information that I think that students could use. For example, I was unable to find any defintion or comment on the meaning of the term "general infrastructure" as used in the SCM agreement. But of course, this is relatively trivial. As as a book published in 2008, it is relatively up to date. Even if you are taking a course on International Trade that uses another textbook, I highly recommend that you purchase or use this book as a supplement. In my view, it's the best out there.
