Review of the hardback: 'Voon examines each solution, its advantages, implications and possible shortfalls. While she finds no silver bullet for the problem, Voon calls for action as UNESCO's new convention affecting trade and cultural diversity enters into force in 2007 and the WTO's Doha Round of negotiations stumbles. This book is not biased in favour of trade or culture. Voon presents some solutions that should be acceptable to both sides, citing international trade treaties and other materials extensively, while explaining the reasons for different countries' arguments. She also provides a discussion of the role of international law in WTO disputes, while taking into account political ramifications.' Law Library Journal
