In the age of regionalisation and globalisation, the law and policy of international trade regulation moves center stage. The field, though, has lacked comprehensive coverage, and access to materials and cases in WTO, EC and Swiss law has been difficult. The WTO, recognised as one of the most important international organisations, combining lawmaking and effective dispute settlement with a substantial impact on everyday life, remains but poorly understood. Likewise, EC and Swiss external economic law are only now being recognised as important emerging fields. This casebook for scholars, students and practitioners provides a unique overview of international trade regulation under the auspices of the WTO, as well as the pertinent EC and Swiss law. Compiling cases, texts and materials, annotated with introductory remarks and relevant commentary, the authors comprehensively address the interaction of WTO, EC and national law in the area of goods, services and IP rights.
