While other books confine themselves to describing contemporary GATT/WTO legal rules or analyzing their economic logic, this is the first to explain the logic and development behind these rules. The book begins by examining the institutions' rules, principles, practices, and norms from their genesis in the early postwar period to the present. It evaluates the extent to which changes in these institutional attributes have helped maintain or rebuild domestic constituencies for open markets. The book considers these questions by looking at the political, legal, and economic foundations of the trade regime from many angles. The authors conclude that throughout most of GATT/WTO history, power politics fundamentally shaped the creation and evolution of the GATT/WTO system. Yet in recent years, many aspects of the trade regime have failed to keep pace with shifts in underlying material interests and ideas, and the challenges presented by expanding membership and preferential trade agreements. 606 $aFree trade 606 $aForeign trade regulation 606 $aRegionalism 606 $aTrade blocs 606 $aFree trade$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aFree trade. 615 0$aForeign trade regulation. 615 0$aRegionalism. 615 0$aTrade blocs. 615 0$aFree trade$xPolitical aspects. 676 $a382/.92 700 $aBarton$b John H$0291417 702 $aGoldstein$b Judith L., 702 $aJosling$b Timothy E., 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790953303321 996 $aThe evolution of the trade regime$93675339 997 $aUNINA
