by Geert Van Calster

MembersReviewsPopularityAverage ratingConversations
6None2,615,901NoneNone
This edited collection brings together an impressive array of authors from the world of international trade, the environment and public health. Each of them is eminently well-placed to bring their own particular expertise to bear on the issue at hand, and to do so in a knowledgeable and stimulating manner. ThisResearch Handbook is a must for anyone interested in these overlapping fields of law and policy whether as a basis for learning or as a resource for further research.' - Mary Footer, University of Nottingham School of Law, UK 'This fantastic collection of essays explores the multiple intersections between trade and environment in the WTO. The contributions by leading scholars are theoretically engaged whilst practical in their focus. It is a 'must read' for those concerned to ensure that trade liberalisation does not stand in the way of sustainable development, including urgently needed action to mitigate the risks and consequences of climate change.' - Joanne Scott, University College London, UK 'Geert Van Calster and Denise Prévost have managed to induce virtually all the great experts on health, environment and WTO law to contribute to their Research Handbook on these subjects. The result is undoubtedly an excellent volume that should adorn the bookcase of any and all interested in the important problem of the relation between international rule-making and regulatory autonomy of states in this area of international economic law.' - Pieter Jan Kuijper, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands This Handbookprovides state-of-the-art analysis by leading authors on the links between the international trade regime and health and environment concerns - concerns that make up an increasing proportion of WTO dispute settlement. Research Handbook on Environment, Health and the WTOsurveys fields as diverse as climate change mitigation, non-communicable diseases, nanotechnology and public health care. The volume brings to the fore the debates and complexities surrounding these issues and their implications for the international trading system. The Handbookbegins in Part I with a survey of general issues that sets a context for the more specific sectorial studies. Part II considers the most pressing issues within health regulation and trade law, whilst Part III is devoted to environmental regulation and its interface with trade law. Part IV looks specifically at aspects of the dispute settlement process and in particular standard of review, and the book concludes in Part V with a consideration of the impact of trade measures on the health and environment regimes of emerging economies. This comprehensive yet concise Handbookwill appeal to academics and researchers in international trade law and environmental law, as well as trade law practitioners. Contributors include: A. Accuri, A. Alemanno, J. Atik, H. Baumüller, M. Burnier, T. Cottier, K. Das, J. De Cendra De Larragan, P. Delimatsis, M. Echols, T. Epps, M. Footer, L. Gruszczynki, A. Herwig, C. Joerges, B. Mercurio, P. Morrisson, L. Nielsen, J. Pauwelyn, J. Peel, D. Regan, L. Rubini, D. Shabalala, N. Shariff, T. Voon, D. Wirth, Z. Zhang… (more)
