Rezensionen

'This is a stellar work on WTO Law, which I have been using to great effect with my students since the very first edition. It keeps getting better, without growing out of bounds. This in itself is a remarkable achievement given the increasing breadth and depth of WTO jurisprudence. Warmly recommended.' Marco Bronckers, Universiteit Leiden, The Netherlands
