'Amid rising populist protectionism and the Covid-19 pandemic, export restrictions have become an intensely debated topic in law and international relations. While export restrictions have been mostly assessed through the lens of the national security exception under the WTO regime, the legal issues go beyond the trade law dimension. … the book fills the gap in the existing literature by providing a comprehensive account of regulatory frameworks and case studies involving export restrictions.'
