WTO, Intellectual Property, E-Commerce and the Internet

Edited by Rohan Kariyawasam BSc, MA, Fulbright Cert (Harvard), Solicitor, FRSA and Anglia Ruskin University, UK

'The selection of chapters is guaranteed to provide not just a multi-dimensional view of the WTO's real and perceived roles, and the aspirations which many people held for it, but also an historical view, with chapters going back to the mid-to-late 1990s. . . The cast of contributors is stellar, and more than a few of the "usual suspects" will be found between the covers. . . Well done, says the IPKat!'
