Editorial Reviews

Intended for graduate and undergraduate students of trade policy, as well as for policymakers, this volume provides a broad introduction to the basic theory of trade policy and a thorough discussion of actual international trade policy in the 1990s from the standpoint of international economics. Addressed are those issues which have been most dominant in multilateral and bilateral trade negotiations between countries in recent years and which are likely to be important in the future.
