A Commentary

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The WTO Agreement on Agriculture subjected agriculture to a set of international rules for the first time in the history of international trade. Ever since its negotiation the Agreement, and its tolerance of farm subsidies, has been at the forefront of the controversy surrounding the purpose and impact of the WTO itself. This commentary provides a full legal analysis of the obligations imposed by the agreement on WTO members, and of the complex history of the Agreement's negotiation and revision, and the controversy surrounding its effect on international development.
