Technical Barriers to Trade in ¿New Generation¿ RTAs and in the WTO Agreements

More about the book

This book explores the relationship between technical barriers to trade (TBT) in free trade agreements and the World Trade Organization (WTO). It discusses the stalled cooperation at the WTO and how free trade agreements shape international trade governance. The analysis focuses on TBT provisions, their implications for WTO consistency, and suggests enhancing TBT cooperation at the WTO for broader global issues. It also examines "new generation" trade agreements from the EU and US, offering insights for future multilateral efforts.
