Recenzje

'As Professor Lee explains, this extensively revised edition is 'written for those who wish to study international trade law from the perspective of economic development'. Professor Lee once again explains the WTO's regulatory framework and its shortcomings for developing countries, particularly for the more than 40 least developed countries that are World Trade Organization (WTO) members, and the corresponding drawbacks of the WTO system as a positive force for economic development. As with the first edition, the work is required reading for anyone, lawyer, academic, economist, public policy official, or non-governmental organization (NGO) member, whose interests lie in the broad intersection of law and development.' David A. Gantz, Journal of International Economic Law
