This edited collection brings together an impressive array of
authors from the world of international trade, the environment and
public health. Each of them is eminently well-placed to bring their
own particular expertise to bear on the issue at hand, and to do so
in a knowledgeable and stimulating manner. This Research Handbook
is a must for anyone interested in these overlapping fields of law
and policy whether as a basis for learning or as a resource for
further research.' - Mary Footer, University of Nottingham School
of Law, UK'This fantastic collection of essays explores the
multiple intersections between trade and environment in the WTO.
The contributions by leading scholars are theoretically engaged
whilst practical in their focus. It is a 'must read' for those
concerned to ensure that trade liberalisation does not stand in the
way of sustainable development, including urgently needed action to
mitigate the risks and consequences of climate change.' - Joanne
Scott, University College London, UK 'Geert Van Calster and Denise
Prevost have managed to induce virtually all the great experts on
health, environment and WTO law to contribute to their Research
Handbook on these subjects. The result is undoubtedly an excellent
volume that should adorn the bookcase of any and all interested in
the important problem of the relation between international
rule-making and regulatory autonomy of states in this area of
international economic law.' - Pieter Jan Kuijper, University of
Amsterdam, The Netherlands This Handbook provides state-of-the-art
analysis by leading authors on the links between the international
trade regime and health and environment concerns - concerns that
make up an increasing proportion of WTO dispute settlement.
Research Handbook on Environment, Health and the WTO surveys fields
as diverse as climate change mitigation, non-communicable diseases,
nanotechnology and public health care. The volume brings to the
fore the debates and complexities surrounding these issues and
their implications for the international trading system. The
Handbook begins in Part I with a survey of general issues that sets
a context for the more specific sectorial studies. Part II
considers the most pressing issues within health regulation and
trade law, whilst Part III is devoted to environmental regulation
and its interface with trade law. Part IV looks specifically at
aspects of the dispute settlement process and in particular
standard of review, and the book concludes in Part V with a
consideration of the impact of trade measures on the health and
environment regimes of emerging economies. This comprehensive yet
concise Handbook will appeal to academics and researchers in
international trade law and environmental law, as well as trade law
practitioners. Contributors include: A. Accuri, A. Alemanno, J.
Atik, H. Baumuller, M. Burnier, T. Cottier, K. Das, J. De Cendra De

The multilateral trading system and the WTO, its principal
institution, are currently in crisis. Now more than ever, it is
essential to provide a sound understanding of WTO rules and
procedures, and their contribution to a secure and predictable
framework for trading relations between nations. This book provides
a timely and carefully considered overview of the substantive rules
and institutional arrangements of the WTO, written in a concise and
highly reader-friendly manner. It provides a clear and systematic
discussion of key issues of WTO law, and incorporates important
case law and current debates. It includes useful pedagogical
features such as illustrative examples of the application of the
legal framework to practical situations to facilitate
understanding, as well as lists of further reading. Co-written by a
leading authority in the field, it forms essential reading for
anyone who wants to get to grips with this fascinating and
challenging field of law.
In the aftermath of the global financial crisis, the world has
witnessed increasing manifestations of eroding trust in the
international trade regime, including Brexit and the Trump
administration's unilateral trade policies. Restoring trust in the
international trading system is essential to prevent the rise of
economic nationalism and beggar-thy-neighbour policies, which as
history has shown are a threat to global welfare and peace. As a
scholar, counsellor of the WTO Appellate Body Secretariat, and,
between 2009 and 2017, a member of the WTO Appellate Body, Peter
Van den Bossche has addressed the challenges faced by the
international trade regime and has tirelessly promoted trust in the
multilateral governance model. This Liber Amicorum honours his
contribution to the development of a 'trustworthy' rules-based
multilateral trading system, which has left a lasting legacy. In
this timely book, leading experts and friends of Peter Van den
Bossche, including his mentors, colleagues and PhD candidates, come
together to pay tribute to his work by exploring, from a legal
perspective, what can be done to restore trust in trade, focusing
on: (1) ensuring a robust institutional framework that promotes
rule of law over power politics, (2) safeguarding the integrity and
effectiveness of trade dispute settlement, and (3) ensuring that
substantive international trade rules appropriately balance trade
and non-trade interests.
