'Like Products' in International Trade Law

Towards a Consistent Gatt/Wto Jurisprudence

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The central thesis of this book is that despite the centrality of the principle of 'like products' to the WTO, it has not been consistently interpreted, and therefore the risk of discriminatory practice remains. The author, through analyzing legal and economic arguments, sets about defining the concept of 'like products' in such a way as to consistently give effect to WTO aims.

---

The obligations of international trade law hinge upon the question of what constitutes "like products." Trade disputes will often involve an examination of whether the products in question are in competition with one another. This book seeks to develop consistent principles and an effective definition for this central issue of world trade law.
