The case law of the World Trade Organization is extensive, now running into some three hundred decided cases and thousands of pages. The interpretative process involved in this jurisprudence constitutes a form of legislative activity, and is therefore of great significance not only to the parties to disputes, but to the membership of the WTO. Qureshi identifies some of the underlying problems of interpreting WTO agreements, and examines the conditions for the interpretation of these agreements. Since the first edition of this book, the case law has grown, and the interpretation evolved further. This second edition addresses these developments and engages in the contemporary discourse on the subject. Also included is a new section on issues of interpretation relating to preferential trade agreements and the WTO. This book is an essential tool for WTO trade specialists, as well as government and judicial officers concerned with interpreting these agreements.

'Written with clarity and precision by one of the world's foremost international trade law scholars, the second edition provides even broader and deeper insights than its predecessor into the interpretation of WTO texts. Special virtues of this edition include great care paid to the impact on poor countries of WTO adjudications, and placement of those outcomes in wider economic and political contexts. Students, scholars, and practitioners will find time spent with this new edition both enlightening and productive.'
