Synopsis

Set against the backdrop of the spectacular failure of the Doha Round of world trade talks, this fascinating yet crucial analysis examines some of the fundamental problems of world trade law, such as its position in the system of public international law. It also looks at, among many other things, problems of legitimacy and democratic control, and some of the more practical items on the agenda, including whether the Doha Development Round really fostered development.
