'International trade - which is just another name for international business - involves a tightly woven bundle of cross-border "movements". Firms that sell internationally need to move goods, services, investment, skilled personal and intellectual property across international boundaries. This reality means that today's FTAs are about a great deal more than tariffs. This book, which focuses on the proposed China-Australia FTA, provides a wondrous overview of what a modern bilateral trade agreement has to address. Its 12 chapters, written mostly by world-renowned experts, are succinct, up-to-date and highly informative. I recommend it to anyone interested in the new wave of FTAs in Asia and beyond.'
