| Summary: | "This is a book about the constitutionalization of the WTO, and the contemporary development of institutional forms and democratic ideas associated with constitutionalism in the world trading system. It is about constitutionalization enthusiasts who promote institutions, management techniques, rights discourse, and quasi-judicial power to construct a constitution for the WTO. It is about constitutional skeptics who fear the effects of constitutionalization on the autonomy of states, the capacity of the WTO to consider non-economic and non-free-trade goals, and democratic processes at the WTO and within the nation-state. It aims to disentangle debates about the various meanings of the term 'constitution' as applied to the WTO, and to reflect on the significance of those meanings for more general international law conceptions of constitutions."--BOOK JACKET. |
