Publisher's Synopsis
Representing a continuation of the debate on export restrictions and export controls, this adroitly-crafted book expertly navigates the complexities of international trade law. Under the aegis of global security, it features a number of diverse yet interconnected topics on export restrictions and export controls and highlights the multi-faceted trade, economic, and security challenges faced by developed and developing countries.
Providing a wealth of legal analysis, Umair Ghori explores a variety of central themes including the role of export restrictions and controls and their differences, the impact they have on WTO Members' international trade and economic security interests, the inadequacies of the rules on export restrictions and how this affects the interests of trading nations, and meaningful reforms in trade and development. Ghori draws on historical and theoretical dimensions and examines the latest developments within the field. Through the judicious use of empirical evidence, Export Restrictions and Export Controls illustrates the pressing need for reform of current WTO disciplines in order to support the aspirations and security interests of the developing world.
Both innovative and accessible, this book will appeal to academics, researchers and students of international trade and security studies, international economic law, trade law, and global and transnational law. Bringing a diverse perspective to scholarly discourse, it will also be of benefit to those interested in the wider field of international relations.
