'The book is an impressive analysis from a young academic to produce original research in the field of international trade law and the EU legal institutional approach. It is indeed a brave attempt to understand a rather difficult and complex topic. The book opens a door for further research and detailed policy recommendations and is a worthwhile read for those who are interested in reading about legal aspects of the famous 'Bananas' and 'Hormones' cases.' Christine Otsver, Journal of Contemporary European Research
