'This excellent volume does much more than excavate the underlying principles of the post-World War II international trade regime. It also demonstrates precisely how these principles went askew in the most recent wave of globalisation. Most importantly, it addresses how deep reflection on the principles can offer insights into ways of strengthening the fragile 'system' of global economic governance today.'
