Building on more than one hundred interviews with former and current trade officials and private attorneys in the United States and Europe, Gregory Shaffer calls attention to the ways in which well-organized private parties are using the World Trade Organization's legal system to advance their own commercial ambitions, and how public officials increasingly are dependent on their assistance. Shaffer assesses the historical, political, legal, economic, and cultural factors that have affected the formation of these ad hoc public-private partnerships, as well as trends in the European Union toward U.S.-style practice. He considers the implications of these public-private trade litigation networks for the effectiveness and equity of the WTO system and the stability of U.S.-E.U. relations. 606 $aActions and defenses 606 $aPublic-private sector cooperation 606 $aForeign trade regulation 615 0$aActions and defenses. 615 0$aPublic-private sector cooperation. 615 0$aForeign trade regulation. 676 $a343/.087 700 $aShaffer$b Gregory C.$f1958-$01681979 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811492903321 996 $aDefending interests$94051750 997 $aUNINA
