Reviews / Votes
'In this much awaited second edition, Van den Bossche and Prevost have again succeeded in providing an excellent and up-to-date overview of the core elements of WTO law, both institutional and substantive, in an accessible and systematic manner. It is without a doubt an essential source of introductory reading for new students of WTO law, as well as a key reference for more established lawyers in the field. A perfect complement to more extensive treatises of the subject.' Gracia Marin Duran, University College London 'Essentials of WTO Law is a quick and easy introduction to the nuances of WTO law, featuring underlying principles as well as the societal values. Van den Bossche and Prevost have masterfully updated this edition, which serves as a great reference resource and is well worth adding to the recommended text list of any WTO law course.' Swati Gola, University of Exeter 'This book makes for a perfect one-semester companion, effortlessly combining knowledge, analysis, and engagement.'
