Preferential Trade Agreements and International Law

<p>The multilateral trade agreements in the Annexes to the Agreement Establishing</p><p>the World Trade Organization provide a comprehensive structure for international</p><p>trade. Why would trading partners in different countries feel the need to</p><p>go outside this framework in order to set up preferential trade arrangements?</p><p>This book considers the structure of the World Trade Organization’s agreements</p><p>and the types of preferential trade arrangements and deliberates the value of the</p><p>latter in the light of the operation of the former.</p><p>Preferential Trade Agreements and International Law offers a comprehensive</p><p>examination of preferential trade agreements and considers the features of specific</p><p>regional and bilateral trade agreements without drawing upon systematic</p><p>features and trends. It shows the latest state of knowledge on the topic and will</p><p>be of value to researchers academics policymakers and students interested in</p><p>international trade and economic law.</p>
