The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) has extended its institutional arsenal since the Kennedy round in the early 1960s. The current institutional design is the outcome of the Uruguay round and agreements reached in the ongoing Doha round (begun in 2001). One of the institutional outgrowths of GATT is the World Trade Organization (WT0)  created in 1995. In this book  Petros Mavroidis offers a detailed examination of WTO agreements regulating trade in goods  discussing legal context  policy background  economic rationale  and case law. Each chapter examines a given legal norm and its subsequent practice. In particular  he discusses agreements dealing with customs clearance; contingent protection instruments  which allow WTO members unilaterally to add to the negotiated amount of protection when a certain contingency (for example  dumping) has occurred; TBT (Technical Barriers to Trade) and SPS (Sanitary and Phyto-sanitary Measures) agreements  both of which deal with such domestic instruments as environmental  health policy  or consumer information; the agreement on Trade Related Investment Measures (TRIM); sector-specific agreements on agriculture and textiles; plurilateral agreements (binding a subset of WTO membership) on government procurement and civil aviation; and transparency in trade relations. This books companion volume examines the GATT regime for international trade.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986643677237,"sku":"ByrdShop_0262029995","price":61.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780262029995.jpg?v=1770912006","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-regulation-of-international-trade-volume-2-the-wto-agreements-on-trade-in-goods-mit-press","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
