Description
This volume focuses attention on world trade regulation issues in Australia. Published in the shadows of the Australia-USA Free Trade Agreement (AUSFTA) in 2004, it takes a wide-ranging and sceptical approach to the area. It features: an examination of the WTO through the lens of globalisation (Camilleri and Myconos); the case against the AUSFTA (Garnaut); the CER Agreement (Walker); the question of special and differential treatment of LDCs within the WTO (Chen); the WTO and Islamic Law (Bhala); national treatment under the WTO (McMahon); intellectual property protection (Drahos and Braithwaite); FDI and the WTO (Sornarajah); trade in services (Islam); labour law issues (Murray); and environmental issues (Harris).
