Benn McGrady

Opis

Examines extent to which law of the WTO restricts domestic implementation of taxes, restrictions on marketing, product regulation and labeling measures for public health purposes.

Recenzje

'McGrady's book marks a generational shift in the field, framing WTO law not in contradistinction to, or tension with, 'non-trade' law such as human rights, but rather examining the operation of WTO law when viewed from a public health perspective.' Gregory Messenger, Journal of International Economic Law
