Edward Elgar Publishing The WTO, Economic Interdependence, and Conflict (Critical Perspectives on the Global Trading System and the WTO series)

Scholars and policymakers have long been interested in the relationship between international institutions, foreign trade, and interstate conflict. This timely volume presents the most important published articles that address these crucial issues. The articles are organized into three parts. The first part presents and evaluates the core theoretical arguments about the linkage between foreign economic relations and political-military hostilities. The second part addresses the origins of various international institutions designed to influence global commerce, how these institutions operate, and the extent to which they shape the flow and content of overseas trade. The final part analyzes how economic disputes are settled within the World Trade Organization. Review 'This is an outstanding collection of the most important articles on trade, conflict, and the WTO. It will be a valuable tool for students and scholars alike.' -- David A.
