Summary
The concept of this book was born when a group of scholars from developing countries decided to publish a book on international trade law and economic development, subsequently titled Economic Development through World Trade: A Developing Country Perspective (The Hague: Kluwer Law International, 2008). As that book offered, probably for the first time, thirteen chapters of developing-country accounts and perspectives on international trade law, I thought that another book, written on international trade law from a developed-country perspective, would provide a necessary complement to the exercise. A couple of chapters overlap between the two books, but fourteen of the seventeen authors of this book are indeed academics and professionals from developed countries and offer developed-country perspectives.
