Critical perspectives on the global trading system
K4610
The evolution from the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) to the regime of the World Trade Organization (WTO) was accompanied by changing trade dispute resolution rules and mechanisms. Gathering 25 previously published papers from social scientists, primarily economists, Mavroidis (law, Columbia Law School) and Sykes (law, U. of Chicago Law School) present a collection that considers a range of questions about this development. The papers, first appearing between 1990 and 2002, are gathered into six parts broadly addressing the scope and function of the dispute resolution system, the relationship between the system and national authorities, remedies for breach of legal obligations in the WTO and their adequacy, litigation and settlement questions (including overall fairness), the role of unilateralism in the enforcement of commitments under GATT, and such systemic issues as whether the "judicialzation" of dispute resolution in the WTO is a successful innovation and whether the system might be improved through broader democratic participation.
