Among restrictions on imports, safeguard measures are particularly
controversial in that they are invoked in the absence of any unfair
trade practice. Safeguards interfere substantially with the normal
stream of trade, and their improper application undermines the
objectives of the WTO. Recent WTO cases have brought the attention
of trade lawyers to the absence of comprehensive materials on this
complex subject, and highlighted the need for a reliable guide to
the WTO rules on safeguards. Dr. Y.S. Lee, perhaps the world's
foremost authority on safeguard measures, has provided such a
guide, here updated in its second edition. Readers may expect from
this book comprehensive coverage on safeguards to date with legal
analysis of the important issues in the interpretation and
application of the current rules on safeguards. The author also
proposes modifications to enhance and clarify the discipline of
safeguards. The crucial issues raised include the following:
economic and political justifications of safeguards; applicability
of GATT Article XIX; interpretation and application of the
Agreement on Safeguards, including nondiscriminatory application of
safeguards and justification of safeguards-in-response;
transitional product-specific safeguard measures against China;
and, emergency safeguards to trade in services. The focus of the
book is on the WTO Agreement on Safeguards, as interpreted by WTO
Panel and Appellate Body reports in key cases, including Korea'
Dairy Products, Argentina's Footwear, United States' Wheat Glutten,
United States' Lamb Meat, Chile's Price Band System, United States'
Line Pipe and United States' Steel Products. Dr. Lee summarizes the
various key findings and provides lucid and well-balanced analysis
of these reports. "Safeguard Measures in World Trade" comes at a
time when safeguard measures continue to mount in various parts of
the world and a possible domino effect can destabilize the
international trading system. It will be of inestimable value to
government officials, trade lawyers, international business people,
and academics in trade law and related fields.
