Beskrivning

The last decade of the twentieth century and the first decade of the twenty-first century has been one of the most challenging periods for the generally accepted assumptions of international law. This book, first published in 2006, grapples with these long-held assumptions (such as the consent basis of international law norms, equality of nations, restrictive or text-based treaty interpretations and applications, the monopoly of internal national power, and non-interference), and how they are being fundamentally altered by the forces of globalization. It also examines the challenges facing the WTO as a component of international economic law, and how that field is inextricably linked to general international law.

'This is an important work by an important author … a world-renowned authority on international trade law … Although the book should be captivating for specialists in the areas of public international law and international trade law, the author has such an easy writing style that even beginning students of these fields of study could readily follow his arguments.' International Trade Law and Regulation
