Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This work presents a detailed examination of the interface between trade and competition policy and how these policies have been addressed by the WTO. As cases before the WTO increase steadily, and as globalization drives trade and competition law into an ever closer relationship, this volume provides practitioners and academics with a guide to the growing network of international agreements in the area and a clear insight into the future direction of policy. It aims to provide an integrated analysis of trade and competition policies in the context of the WTO, and to help steer the reader through the complex web of international competition policies and initiatives. It analyzes current WTO agreements with competition policy components, including TRIPS and the Agreement on Basic Telecommunications and explores the economic forces driving the integration of trade and competition policies.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
