Since the first edition of The World Trading System was published in 1989, the Uruguay Round of trade negotiations has been completed, and most governments have ratified and are in the process of implementing the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). In the Uruguay Round, more than 120 nations negotiated for over eight years, to produce a document of some 26,000 pages. This new edition of The World Trading System takes account of these and other developments. Like the first edition, however, its treatment of topical issues is grounded in the fundamental legal, constitutional, institutional, and political realities that mold trade policy. Thus the book continues to serve as an introd...
This book contains a selection of essays and articles by John H. Jackson previously published over four decades and now collected together into one volume. Each article has been selected for its continued timeliness and relevance to contemporary issues in international trade. Particular attention has been given to making available articles that have previously been less accessible. For the most part articles are republished in their original form but, where appropriate, the author has clearly marked some omissions and added updating material. An indispensable addition to every international trade library.
The last decade of the twentieth century and the first decade of the twenty-first century has been one of the most challenging periods for the generally accepted assumptions of international law. This book, first published in 2006, grapples with these long-held assumptions (such as the consent basis of international law norms, equality of nations, restrictive or text-based treaty interpretations and applications, the monopoly of internal national power, and non-interference), and how they are being fundamentally altered by the forces of globalization. It also examines the challenges facing the WTO as a component of international economic law, and how that field is inextricably linked to general international law.
Analysing the emerging international legal framework governing financial institutions and markets, including monetary policies and monetary regulation, this book addresses the cross border issues that arise within this area. It highlights the lack of formal international law present, and shows how this contributed to the global financial crisis.
"The multilateral trading system based on the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) is being eroded by a shift to bilateralism, surging protectionism, and flouting of its rules by the major trading countries. The inclusion of the complex issues of services, intellectual property, and investment in the Uruguay Round has only increased the strain on the GATT's structure. Reform and strengthening of the GATT system can no longer be delayed. Jackson argues that part of the problem lies in the defective constitutional nature of the GATT itself. He examines the institutional and constitutional changes the GATT would need in order to contain protectionist pressure and respond to the new issues in the evolving international economy. Jackson outlines the provisions of a new charter that would strengthen the foundations of the system. His proposed reform challenges policymakers and practitioners to think beyond the modest objectives of the Uruguay Round"--Unedited summary from book cover.
The completion of the Uruguay Round of negotiations has resulted in the creation of important international agreements. This book examines the implementation of the GATT agreement and its national and international legal and constitutional ramifications
