Title: Multilateralism and the World Trade Organisation
Description: "The demonstrations that accompanied the World Trade Organisation's (WTO's) Third Ministerial Meeting in Seattle in late 1999 offered many the first glimpse of this organisation. Yet they also drew attention to a growing tide of criticism directed towards the WTO, comprising, among other things, a perceived lack of environmental and developmental sensitivity as well as disregard for the rights of workers." "This book explores the significance of the establishment of the WTO, as well as some of the issues brought into sharper focus by the Seattle demonstrations." "This analysis is a one-stop resource for anyone - specialist or professional - who needs a considered account of the World Trade Organisation, its origins and its legal framework." --Book Jacket.
