{"product_id":"the-world-trade-organization-david-collins-9781780745787","title":"The World Trade Organization: A Beginner's Guide","description":"One of the most important yet least understood organizations in the world, the WTO is a lynchpin of globalization, allowing us to enjoy products and services from around the globe. However, it also lays bare the frailty of many industries, leading some to claim that it stokes unemployment and harms the developing world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this engaging introduction, David Collins examines the goals of the WTO and the difficulties experienced by member countries struggling to adapt to the pressures of globalization. Refuting the argument that the WTO should expand its mandate to cover wider social issues, Collins demonstrates how this would confuse the organization's primary objective - to liberalize international trade. With case studies straight from the headlines and clear explanations of complex issues like regional trade agreements and currency manipulation, this lucid exposition is an essential insight into what the WTO does and how it fits into the world we know.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Collins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780745788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780745787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ONEWorld Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.40d","brand":"David Collins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078627062015,"sku":"9781780745787","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a57a6946-0913-4cb7-95f2-f0710efc98f1.jpg?v=1685476583","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-world-trade-organization-david-collins-9781780745787","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
