With a solid constitutional continuity building on GATT experiences, the WTO has successfully made governments accountable to foreign individuals in various capacities either as traders of goods, providers of services, or holders of intellectual property rights within the global marketplace. With a triune personality, the WTO operates within the reign of state primacy - the \u003cem\u003eforce \u003c\/em\u003e- ultimately for the benefits of individuals - the \u003cem\u003eends \u003c\/em\u003e- in the global marketplace, and gains a soul of its own in the institutional evolution - the \u003cem\u003emeans \u003c\/em\u003e- of the global trading regime. Although the tripartite dynamics between states, international institutions, and individuals in the global marketplace are unprecedentedly complex, the WTO's \u003ci\u003eends\u003c\/i\u003e of benefiting individuals in the global marketplace has no end. Beyond the critical analysis of WTO's decision-making by consensus, the book critically examines GATT's \"common intention\" treaty interpretation, Antidumping's NME methodology, TRIPS' public health concerns, and IP-competition trade policy dynamics. A unified WTO jurisprudence looking at the WTO as an international social contract on trade is therefore proposed to allow a fresh look at the \u003ci\u003eforce\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003cem\u003emeans\u003c\/em\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003eends\u003c\/i\u003e of the constitutional evolution of the global trading regime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wenwei Guan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 036749941X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367499419\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.51d","brand":"Wenwei Guan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057224577279,"sku":"9780367499419","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_44fac457-a013-4deb-bda5-c5ef1c9f04a3.jpg?v=1685045745","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wto-jurisprudence-wenwei-guan-9780367499419","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
