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 non-discriminatory 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 Footwear, United States Wheat Gluten, United
States Lamb Meat, Chile 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. Other WTO rules considered include GATT Articles XIX, XII,
and XVIII; the Understanding on Balance of Payments of the GATT
1994; the Agreement on Agriculture; the Agreement on Textile and
Clothing; Article XII of the General Agreement on Trade in Services
(GATS); and the Protocol on the Accession of the People s Republic
of China." 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.
