The
World Trade Organisation:
A Guide to the Framework for International Trade
by B L Das
“...detailed and intelligible guide to the
intricacies of the WTO agreements ...for those who need
to understand the new multilateral framework for world
trade. ”
"The
whole architecture of international trade is being
fundamentally recast by the various agreements which the
new agency, the World Trade Organisation, is responsible
for policing. This book cuts through the daunting
technicalities of one of the most important of these
agreements, that dealing with Intellectual Property
Rights (hitherto mainly the preserve of national IPRs
legislation) and their treatment as internationally
tradeable commodities. Professor Correa makes
comprehensible what the Agreement on Trade-Related
Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) is about
and explains its main provisions."
This book
examines the implications of some of the main features of the
globalisation process for the developing countries. It also
makes several proposals for developing countries in considering
national-level policies to face the globalisation challenge, as
well as coordination among developing countries in facing
negotiations or making proposals at the international level.
