The contributing authors address trade law through an interdisciplinary lens, examining its political, economic and social contexts. Several chapters highlight challenges including sustainability and digitalization, as well as potential solutions for developing countries in the WTO dispute settlement system. The Research Handbook demonstrates the fiscal implications of trade rules and climate policymaking, featuring case studies from across Africa, the Americas and Asia to draw attention to international trade policies in the context of economic development. It also seeks to empower minority groups ranging from women and indigenous people to small and micro entrepreneurs, as well as investors from emerging countries with an equitable approach to trade relations.
The Research Handbook on Trade Law and Development is an essential resource for scholars and students in international trade, international economic law and law and development. Its unique insights on alternative approaches to trade law and negotiations will greatly benefit international policymakers and business executives.
