`Although easily readable, the audience for this volume is
primarily lawyers or persons trained in the law. ... Together ...
the essays constitute a coherent introduction to the evolution,
major institutions, issues and developments in international trade
law. ...Robert Howse's essay on 'Adjudicative Legitimacy and Treaty
Interpretation in International Trade' .. provides a good critique
of the major legitimacy and overnance issues associated with
the
regulatory instruments of international trade as well as a good
theoretical framework for understanding them.'
Interights Bulletin Vol. 13, No. 4, 2001
`this is an excellent, thought-provoking collection of essays which
can be read with profit by both European and international lawyers.
There has been much discussion coparing the institutional stuctures
of the EU and the WTO, in particular about whether one can speak of
the "constitution" of the WTO. This volume concentrates rather on
the substantive law of the two organisations. This departure is to
be welcomed.'
