‘As becomes clearer each day, the new global trade regime of the WTO is radically different in fundamental respects from its predecessor, the GATT. This book presents a most intriguing and innovative perspective on a cross-cutting issue of increasing importance: risk assessment. How will risk assessment and risk management affect the evolution of the multilateral rules-based system? Read this book and start thinking about it.’
– Sylvia Ostry, University of Toronto and Munk Centre for International Studies, Canada
The WTO has laid the foundations for a new era of trade relations, and increased trade liberalization has improved global efficiency in production and consumption. The strengthening of trade rules, however, has increased the scope for disputes over interpretations of more extensive and complicated agreements, and has spilt over into environmental and scientific matters.
One of the unforeseen consequences of the WTO agreements has been controversy over risk. This volume explores aspects of risk with special reference to the WTO, where national instruments to reduce risk may conflict with international trade rules.
