This book contains a selection of essays and articles by John H. Jackson previously published over four decades and collected together into one volume. Each article has been selected for its continued relevance to contemporary issues in international trade. Particular attention has been given to making available articles which have previously been less accessible. For the most part articles are republished in their original form but, where appropriate, the author has clearly marked some omissions and added updating material. In selecting and grouping these writings into six thematic parts, the author has written a short introduction to each part for this book. These range from the origin of the GATT through to the Uruguay round of trade negotiations and the WTO. An important compendium from a globally recognized scholar which must become an indispensable purchase for all concerned with international trade policy issues.

'In summary, the book is both testimony and testament. It is testimony in the sense of offering a series of roughly chronological insights into topics of evolving GATT and WTO law from the pen of a skilful writer immersed in the events as they took place. It is a testament to the experience and ability of the author, his prolific and continuing contribution to scholarship of international law, and his appreciation of the systematic issues involved in the evolution of the GATT and now the WTO. While its publication is therefore a celebration, this volume is also practical, and its intelligent and friendly style recommends it as a valuable acquisition for many libraries.' Caroline E. Foster, The Cambridge Law Journal
