In many countries, citizens allege that trade policies undermine
specific rights such as labor rights, the right to health, or the
right to political participation. However, in some countries,
policy makers use trade policies to promote human rights. Although
scholars, policy makers, and activists have long debated this
relationship, in truth we know very little about it. This book
enters this murky territory with three goals. First, it aims to
provide readers with greater insights into the relationship between
human rights and trade. Second, it includes the first study of how
South Africa, Brazil, the United States, and the European Union
coordinate trade and human rights objectives and resolve conflicts.
It also looks at how human rights issues are seeping into the WTO.
Finally, it provides suggestions to policy makers for making their
trade and human rights policies more coherent.
