'This is a stellar work on WTO Law, which I have been using to great effect with my students since the very first edition. It keeps getting better, without growing out of bounds. This in itself is a remarkable achievement given the increasing breadth and depth of WTO jurisprudence. Warmly recommended.' Marco Bronckers, Universiteit Leiden, The Netherlands

Even more exhaustively researched than the previous edition, this volume provides in-depth, contextualized discussion broken down into thoughtfully organized chapters along with concise and timely commentary reflecting recent developments in case law and beyond.
