Description: This book assesses the past 20 years of development of international economic law in time for the WTO's 20th Anniversary, and forecasts the future of international economic law. This edited volume brings together experts in the Asia-Pacific region, from a range of backgrounds, to provide perspectives on many issues that arise from the international economic law experience, focusing on its legal significance and likely impact on multilateralism. The past two decades have seen a significant proliferation of regional trade agreements and a lack of multilateral governance of finance around the world. How to respond to these challenges and how to reform the WTO jurisprudence and process to co-ordinate global and regional mechanisms have become compelling questions for large-scale discussions and systemic analysis. This book provides vital insights into just how to improve multilateral trading governance and to recalibrate international economic law in the twenty-first century.--
Notes: "Most papers collected in this single volume were presented at the Asian International Economic Law Network (AIELN) III Conference (General Theme: The WTO at 20 and the Future of the International Law on Trade, Investment and Finance) held at Seoul on 18-19 July 2013"--Preface.
