• Sommario/riassunto: This second volume of the two-volume set presents several different approaches to modeling the effects of the outcome of the Doha ; negotiations, and investigates why these (and other) modeling efforts produce such divergent results. By comparing and contrasting these approaches, it helps readers develop a clearer understanding of the mechanics and implications of modeling techniques, and also guides them in interpreting the relevance and accuracy of the plethora of news reports on different models.
