Recenzje

'The eagerly awaited second edition of Asif H. Qureshi's Interpreting WTO Agreements published some nine years after the first, is a compelling testimony not only of the author's superb mastery of the complexities of the general international law of treaty interpretation, but also to the remarkable fact of a rapidly growing body of WTO panel and Appellate Body reports which have come to enrich international economic law and practice even beyond the field of trade law. This book provides a detailed exploration of the key features of the WTO dispute settlement system in action in a clear and systematic manner, combining thorough analysis of leading cases in their socio-economic setting with theoretical and policy analysis. It is a book written in a reader-friendly style, a useful addition to the bookshelves of all concerned with the study of international trade law, whether for the first time or at a more advanced level.'
