'This book is a perfect introduction to newcomers to the field and a refresher for those who would like to be reminded of the essentials. It has everything a good book on trade law needs: Theory, practice of adjudicative bodies, doctrine and black letter law, and critical scholarly analysis. Of each one of them only the essentials - just as much as needed to get a comprehensive overview but not so much as to be overwhelmed with detail. Highly recommended for the classroom and beyond!' -- Kai Purnhagen, Wageningen University, the Netherlands<br />'This volume is authoritative and nuanced, yet concise and highly readable. At a time when international trade law is becoming the de facto law of globalization, affecting practically every area of public policy, Advanced Introduction to International Trade Law is essential reading for policy-makers, scholars and students alike.' -- Joel P. Trachtman, Tufts University, US<br />'Who better to provide this highly accessible yet thorough introduction to international trade law than Michael Trebilcock, one of the world's pre-eminent scholars in the field. It introduces all of the important issues in contemporary trade law in straightforward language, capturing the critical details of each topic with both clarity and brevity. It can also serve as an excellent companion to the thick textbooks that accompany international economics or international trade law courses, or help anyone interested in this topic to understand the issues without slugging through legal and economics jargon that makes other sources less approachable.' -- Benjamin Liebman, Saint Joseph's University, US<br />'An essential volume for students of international trade law. Michael Trebilcock presents a comprehensive, concise and accessible account of the legal regime governing the trading system. This revised edition takes account of the latest developments in the field. Like the first edition, this one is a masterful treatment of the subject that should be on the shelf of everyone working in international trade.' -- Andrew Guzman, University of California Berkeley School of Law, US<br />'The book is a much welcome contribution to the study of international trade law, and is recommended to all students, academics, practitioners and policy-makers working in the field of international economic law. It is to be hoped that future editions will continue to update this highly useful text.' -- International Trade Law and Regulation
