Beskrivning
Victorious after World War II and the Cold War, the United States and its allies largely wrote the rules for international trade and investment. Yet, by 2020, it was the United States that became the great disrupter - disenchanted with the rules' constraints. Paradoxically, China, India, Brazil, and other emerging economies became stakeholders in and, at times, defenders of economic globalization and the rules regulating it. Emerging Powers and the World Trading System explains how this came to be and addresses the micropolitics of trade law - what has been developing under the surface of the business of trade through the practice of law, which has broad macro implications. This book provides a necessary complement to political and economic accounts for understanding why, at a time of hegemonic transition where economic security and geopolitics assume greater roles, the United States challenged, and emerging powers became defenders, of the legal order that the United States created.

Recensioner i media

'Gregory Shaffer has written a superb analysis of the crisis in the legal order governing world trade. The core of the book consists of co-authored studies of the engagement with the trading system of China, most significantly, but also of Brazil and India. But the decisive actor now turns out to be the US, which has increasingly lost faith in the system it created. In the future, suggests Shaffer, international rules must grant countries greater room to act and also to react to the actions of others. Yet an agreed interface between systems is also vital if the world is to enjoy a measure of stability and peace.' Martin Wolf, Financial Times
