But is this always true? Can we continue to pretend to protect the rights of workers and to improve environmental protection, particularly through climate change mitigation strategies, within an agenda focused on trade liberalization? Is it credible to pursue trade policies that aim to expand the volumes of trade, without linking such policies to labour and environmental standards, seen as 'non-trade' concerns? This book asks these questions, offering a detailed analysis of whether linkage is desirable and legally acceptable under the disciplines of the World Trade Organization (WTO). It concludes that trade can work for sustainable development, but only if we see it as a means for social and environmental progress, including climate change mitigation, and if we avoid fetichizing it as an end to be pursued for its own sake."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Employee rightsSustainable developmentTrade regulationInternational economic & trade lawEmployee rightsfast(OCoLC)fst00909055Sustainable developmentfast(OCoLC)fst01139731Trade regulationfast(OCoLC)fst01153817Employee rights.Sustainable development.Trade regulation.Employee rights.Sustainable development.Trade regulation.338.9Schutter Olivier de304639UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910965095703321Trade in the service of sustainable development4339924UNINA
