The World Trade Organization : A Guide to New Frameworks for International Trade

Rating:
Summary: good explanation for non-economists
Review: This book, a guide to the WTO agreements, gives a brief historical background of the framework that produced them, and also predecessor agreements whenever these are relevant for understanding the new provisions. The text explains technical terms in understandable language, giving examples whenever appropriate. The author, a fomer India's ambassador and Permanent Representative to GATT and Deputy Permanent Representative to UNCTAD, wrote it based on the materials prepared as the training modules for UNCTAD; so don't expect to find any critical view of the WTO agreements, but rather a concise explanation of them.
