Purpose:
The first phase of this project involves the analysis of case law from the adjudicating bodies of the WTO; each case is jointly evaluated by an expert in trade law and an expert in international economics. The second phase of the project began in 2006 and aims to develop principles of trade law.
Status:
The first phase of the project is continuing. Volumes on case law from 2001-2007, as well as a related publication, The Genesis of the GATT, have been published by Cambridge University Press. In order to increase their exposure, the authors’ manuscripts of case analyses as submitted to the publisher are available for free download. (The final published texts may contain editing or additional material not found in the online manuscripts.) Click on the links in the Public Files section below to view the manuscripts.
The second phase of the project is just beginning and is likely to last several more years before completion.
