Product Description
The last decade of the twentieth century and the first decade of the twenty-first century have been one of the most challenging periods for the generally accepted assumptions of international law. This book 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.

a thoughtful discussion of international law on trading relations between nation states, 2007-08-14
Professor Jackson systematically considers topics in application of laws to trade relations between nation states.

In his discussion he draws upon his own experience with the system, as well the application of law to international trade issues for the past half century. In particular the changing concept of national sovereignty as an international law is applied to nation states, as well as the working and the implications of the working of the WTO dispute settlement system are considered at length.
