“[This] book is particularly good at introducing complex events such as the Doha and technical instruments such as bilateral investment treaties […] it provides a highly readable and straightforward account of these issues, and the use of numerous tables helps to convincingly illustrate the unequal distribution of trade gains and the lack of standardization across multilateral trade regulations.” —Courtney Lindsay, “Caribbean Journal of International Relations & Diplomacy”
