The Evolution of the Trade Regime offers a comprehensive political-economic history of the development of the world's multilateral trade institutions, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and its successor, the World Trade Organization (WTO). While other books confine themselves to describing contemporary GATT/WTO legal rules or analyzing their economic logic, this is the first to explain the logic and development behind these rules. The book begins by examining the institutions' rules, principles, practices, and norms from their genesis in the early postwar period to the present. It evaluates the extent to which changes in these institutional attributes have helped maintain or rebuild domestic constituencies for open markets. The book considers these questions by looking at the political, legal, and economic foundations of the trade regime from many angles. The authors conclude that throughout most of GATT/WTO history, power politics fundamentally shaped the creation and evolution of the GATT/WTO system.Yet in recent years, many aspects of the trade regime have failed to keep pace with shifts in underlying material interests and ideas, and the challenges presented by expanding membership and preferential trade agreements.

Sovereign nations share the international system with a host of non-statetransnational actors. Some of these entities have been created by statesthemselves, often as a result of the need to jointly solve a commonproblem, such as the United Nations. Other international entitiesare created when members of a society organize across traditionalnational boundaries to deal with a collective concern, such as AmnestyInternational or Oxfam. To understand and explain contemporary worldpolitics we need to consider these institutions, as key actors influencingissues of war and peace.Although transnational actors are not new on the world stage, the numberand type of these international entities expanded dramatically afterWorld War II. This set examines both the rise of these new transnationalactors and their effect on international politics and policies.Volume One: Causes – Why Do International Institutions Exist?Volume Two: Consequences – When, Where and Why InternationalInstitutions are EffectiveVolume Three: Types of Institutions – Security and EconomicVolume Four: Types of Institutions – Environment, Human Rights,International Courts, Multilateralism, Regionalism
