"[This] book ... [looks] at the political, legal, and economic foundations of the trade regime from many angles ... [It concludes] that throughout most of GATT/WTO history, power politics fundamentally shaped the creation and evolution of the GATT/WTO system. Yet ... the trade regime ... [has] failed to keep pace with shifts in underlying material interests and ideas, and the challenges presented by expanding membership and preferential trade agreements."
