diverse group of scholars from multiple disciplines, approaches,
and countries, the volume examines trade both on its own terms and
in relation to a host of other topics, including human rights, the
environment, the internet, and more. Essential reading for experts
and students alike.' - David A. Lake, University of California, San
Diego, US'Since the global financial crisis, policymakers and
researchers need to revisit the fundamentals of global governance.
The Handbook of the International Political Economy of Trade
tightly edited by David Deese is an indispensable roadmap and guide
to the rapidly evolving multilateral system of trade its
institutions, processes, regulatory rules and trade politics. In
particular students will find the diversity of perspectives and
approaches of the contributors essential to grasp the dynamics of
the world trading order being reshaped by regional trade
agreements, the rise of emerging market economies, global value
chains and new trade strategies. The Handbook is packed with
information, analytical insight and case studies from an
international political economy perspective. It makes for essential
reading about the interface between trade, global governance and
domestic politics.' - Daniel Drache, Robarts Centre for Canadian
Studies, York University, Toronto, Canada 'The less the World Trade
Organization can deliver, the more national governments engage in
bilateral and regional trade agreement, and thus encompassing
negotiations of trade deals have become prominent in the last
couple of years. Trade policies today are not so much about tariffs
any longer than they are about market access, intellectual property
rights, foreign direct investment rules, and regulatory practices.
This volume, edited by David Deese, is timely, and covers exactly
such relevant areas of trade policy. Students and practitioners
alike will benefit from the deep analytical insights.' - Kurt
Huebner, Jean Monnet Chair for European Integration and Global
Political Economy, The University of British Columbia, Canada
