Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
The WTO is one of the most important intergovernmental organizations in the world, yet the way in which it functions as an organization and the scope of its authority and power are still poorly understood. This comprehensively updated new edition of the acclaimed book by an outstanding team of WTO law specialists, provides a complete overview of the law and practice of the WTO. The authors explain the origins and development, via the GATT, of all of the substantive
legal areas covered by the WTO, as well as the sources of law and remedies of the Dispute Settlement system. This book will be of interest to all scholars, students and practitioners seeking to understand this pivotal yet controversial international organization and world trade in
general.
Long description:
The WTO is one of the most important intergovernmental organizations in the world, yet the way in which it functions as an organization and the scope of its authority and power are still poorly understood. This comprehensively revised new edition of the acclaimed work by an outstanding team of WTO law specialists, provides a complete overview of the law and practice of the WTO.
The authors begin with the institutional law of the WTO (such as the sources of law and remedies of the dispute settlement system), then tackle the principal substantive obligations of the WTO regime (including tariffs, quotas, and MFN). They then move on to consider unfair trade, regional trading arrangements, and developing countries. In its final section the book deals with the consequences of globalization: firstly where WTO law confronts legal regimes governing issues of competition and
intellectual property, and secondly, where free trade is seen to be incompatible with certain human rights. This edition also includes new chapters on trade in agriculture and on government procurement and trade.
This book will be of interest to all scholars, students, and practitioners seeking to understand this pivotal yet controversial international organization and world trade in general.
Review from previous edition '[An] excellent contribution to a better understanding of the discipline...it should not be thought that only law students and those practicing in the area may benefit... the book is a success not only because both theoretical and practical insights are put forward, but also because it reflects the geographical competence of the authors. Together they provide the reader with valuable information about the national laws and
jurisprudence pertaining to trade in Japan, the USA and Europe... easy to read, it is all-encompassing...Chapter 21 at the very end of the book, in which consideration is given to the future challenges facing the WTO system, is remarkable...an attention-grabbing and lively discussion, which will be interesting to
the lay reader and helpful for teaching staff.'
