520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc "In this engaging introduction, David Collins examines the goals of the WTO and the difficulties experienced by member countries struggling to adapt to the pressures of globalization. Refuting the argument that the WTO should expand its mandate to cover wider social issues, Collins demonstrates how this would undermine the organization's primary objective - to liberalize international trade. With case studies straight from the headlines and clear explanations of complex issues like regional trade agreements and currency manipulation, this book is an essential insight into what the WTO does and how it fits into the world we know."--Back cover
