Opis

This book looks at rules of origin in preferential trading agreements and their growing importance in trade negotiations. The book's message is that rules of origin can act as powerful barriers to trade and have been deliberately used as such.

Recenzje

`This book by some of the world's leading experts in the field is a state-of-the-art analysis of a complex and oft-neglected aspect of trade policy. With the growth of regionalism, rules of origin become more significant by the day, yet remain poorly understood. The present work goes a long way in remedying this deficiency. It comprises an enticing blend of economic theory and empirical study, together with political economy and development analysis. ' Patrick Low, Director of Economic Research and Statistics, WTO Secretariat
