The Oxford Handbook on The World Trade Organization Summary

The Oxford Handbook on The World Trade Organization by Amrita Narlikar (Reader in International Political Economy, and Director of the Centre for Rising Powers, Reader in International Political Economy, and Director of the Centre for Rising Powers, Department of Politics and International Studies, University of Cambridge)

The Oxford Handbook on the World Trade Organization provides an authoritative and cutting-edge account of the World Trade Organization. Its purpose is to provide a holistic understanding of what the WTO does, how it goes about fulfilling its tasks, its achievements and problems, and how it might contend with some critical challenges. The Handbook benefits from an interdisciplinary approach. The editorial team comprises a transatlantic partnership between a political scientist, a historian, and an economist. The distinguished and international team of contributors to the volume includes leading political scientists, historians, economists, lawyers, and practitioners working in the area of multilateral trade. All the chapters present original and state-of-the-art research material. They critically engage with existing academic and policy debates, and also contribute to the evolution of the field by setting the agenda for current and future WTO studies.The Handbook is aimed at research institutions, university academics, post-graduate students, and final-year undergraduates working in the areas of international organization, trade policy and negotiations, global economic governance, and economic diplomacy. As such, it should find an enthusiastic readership amongst students and scholars in History, Economics, Political Science, International Relations, Public Policy, and Law. Equally important, the book should have direct relevance for diplomats, international bureaucrats, government officials, and other policy-makers and practitioners in the area of trade and economic governance.

The Oxford Handbook on The World Trade Organization Reviews

...this Handbook should be regarded as a feat of great editorship, which is especially remarkable given the pluralistic array of contributors-both in disciplinary and geographic terms. * Agustin Jose Menendez, University of Leon and University of Oslo, Political Studies Review *
