Routledge - The Language of World Trade Politics Book

Explore the fundamental concepts that shape our understanding of the international trade regime. In "The Language of World Trade Politics: Unpacking the Terms of Trade," part of the RIPE Series in Global Political Economy, this edited collection moves beyond the traditional view that trade outcomes are driven solely by power and interests. Instead, this book focuses on the ideational foundations of global trade. It examines how the specific terms and concepts used to discuss world trade politics can be used strategically. By analyzing these linguistic and conceptual frameworks, the text reveals how certain aspects of reality are made visible while others remain hidden. This academic resource provides a fresh perspective for students and professionals looking to understand the deeper meanings behind multilateral trade negotiations and the international economic landscape.
