Mordchai E. Kreinin is University Distinguished Professor of Economics at Michigan State University and past President of the International Trade and Finance Association. Michael G. Plummer is Head of the Development Division at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Eni Professor of International Economics at Johns Hopkins University, SAIS-Bologna. He is also Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Asian Economics and Director, American Committee for Asian Economic Studies (ACAES), and is a non-resident Senior Fellow of the East-West Center.

This edited volume contains a comprehensive discussion. . .by many of the key contributors to the trade policy literature. The discussion is largely forward thinking, building on achievements that have persisted and survived the turbulence and much more primitive system of rules that have existed so far in the global financial architecture. An excellent supplementary text for international courses. Highly recommended.
