Overview
Twelve chapters, presented by Milner (international economics, U. of Nottingham, UK) and Read (international economics, U. of Lancaster, UK), argue for the extension of the power of the WTO over policy areas and beyond border trade measures and analyze how to implement this agenda. Under the heading of trade liberalization, a group of chapters explore issues of market access in manufactures and agricultural goods on a multilateral or regional basis. Other contributions look at the links between competition and other industrial policies or interventions. Finally, contributors focus more specifically on the structure and actions of the World Trade Organization in policing the neoliberal system. The general tone of the work is uncritical and unquestioning acceptance of the WTO's agenda, with an occasional comment slipping in about possible harms to the world's poor. Annotation c.
