Edward Elgar Publishing The Law and Economics of Contingent Protection in the WTO

Explore the complex relationship between international trade regulations and economic theory with this essential volume from the Elgar International Economic Law series. Published by Edward Elgar Publishing, this book provides a deep analysis of the three most frequent contingent protection instruments used within the World Trade Organization (WTO) framework: anti-dumping, countervailing measures, and safeguards. Three leading authors in the field of international economic law examine how these instruments function and the legal implications of their use. The text specifically addresses the legal challenges surrounding prohibited and actionable subsidies. A key focus of the discussion is the economic reality that the effects of a subsidy often extend beyond the domestic market of the WTO Member attempting to respond. This resource is designed for professionals and students seeking a clear understanding of how legal frameworks and economic impacts intersect in global trade protectionism.
