WTO and World Trade:

Challenges in a New Era

edited by Günter Heiduk and Kar-yiu Wong

 

This book, edited by Günter Heiduk and Kar-yiu Wong, contains 12 articles from internationally renowned experts in the field of world trade. The contributions cover a variety of pressing topics related to trade theory, trade policy, WTO and their relationship. They provide in-depth analysis of some of the trade issues currently discussed by academics and politicians, such as resource allocation, income distribution, employment, growth, technology transfer, heterogeneous markets, intra-industry trade as well as environmental issues.

 

Some of the papers included in the present volume were presented in a conference on "WTO and World Trade, III" held at the University of Duisburg-Essen in June 2002.
