The New Global Trading Order: The Evolving State and the Future of Trade

'In this timely book, Patterson and Afilalo remind us that international trade is not just crucial to prosperity, but to world peace as well. Their analysis of the trade regime's current crisis, and their concrete recommendations for fixing it, should be required reading for all those with a stake in maintaining the global economy.' Ethan B. Kapstein, Paul Dubrule Professor of Sustainable Development, INSEAD

'The New Global Trading Order makes a significant and highly original contribution to the thinking about the international trade order. Well-written and well-argued, this book will be of great interest to those concerned with international trade law, international economics, history, and the issues of globalization. This book should be widely read.' Jeffrey L. Dunoff, Temple University Beasley School of Law

'In this engaging new book, the authors show how the post-war Bretton Woods system for regulating the global economic order was predicated on a conception of the State that no longer holds. They develop a provocative and original thesis for radical institutional redesign of the existing trade regime to promote the enablement of global economic opportunity and growth for citizens of developed and developing countries alike.' Michael Trebilcock, University of Toronto

'The New Global Trading Order is a thought-provoking work, which made an early contribution to an emerging body of literature seeking to shed a humanist view on the world trading system.' Sonia E. Rolland, Jurisprudence
