Rezensionen

Tom Hockin is uniquely qualified to write about international trade politics. The insight he shares with his readers flows from his strong academic background, extensive private sector experience, and the years he devoted to public service as an elected Member of Parliament and as Canada's Minister for International Trade. His multidisciplinary approach has produced a thoroughly readable and provocative book on one of today's most controversial topics-the impact of global trade on national sovereignty. -- James McIlroy, President of McIlroy & McIlroy, Trade Counsel, Toronto, Canada The American Nightmare is a timely contribution to contemporary policy debates and a very highly recommended addition to Economic Studies reading lists and collections. Midwest Book Review Proponents and opponents of the WTO can learn something from Hockin's analysis.

Hockin weaves together these three strands of politics and prejudice in a richly detailed narrative... He provides unequalled insights into the dispute settlement procedures at the WTO, especially those dealing with environmentally related trade issues. -- Alan M. Rugman, Leslie Waters Chair in International Business, Indiana University, and author of The World Trade Organization in the New Global
