About the Book

This comprehensive Companion provides an extensive guide to understanding the World Trade Organization (WTO) and its impact on the global economy. Addressing the challenges facing the WTO amidst a rapidly evolving landscape, the book delves into the diverse trade policies of countries and regions, providing rare insights into their impact on the global trade governance frameworks. Featuring insightful contributions from interdisciplinary experts, this essential Companion will aid readers in comprehending the WTO’s functions and its significance in international trade and broader economic policies. Chapters explore the influence of regional trade agreements on countries’ trade agendas, the WTO’s critical role in fostering free and fair trade, and the shifting dynamics of global economic governance. The book further highlights the importance of dispute resolution, regional integration, and coalitions for effective trade policy making. Highlighting the need for increased transparency, flexibility, and adaptability to ensure the WTO’s continued relevance in global economic governance, this Companion will be indispensable for scholars and students of institutional economics, international relations, law and politics, and regulation and governance. It will also be beneficial for trade lawyers, experts, and professionals who work in international trade and commerce, as well as NGOs and civil society organizations.
