Description: "Illustrates how the constitutional feature of the WTO - that it does not limit its membership to sovereign states - allows for the coexistence of China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau (the Greater China) in the international trading system. It examines economic integration and dispute resolution within the Greater China and assesses the contributions of WTO rules to these processes. It explores the practices of these four Members of a sui generis FTA and of trade defence measures. It provides a comprehensive analysis of existent provisions pertaining to judicial review. Finally, it offers a case study on the impact of WTO membership on domestic legal and economic reforms"--P. [4] of cover.
