  • This book examines how national law is treated in WTO law -- both in the WTO treaty and dispute settlement cases. The WTO treaty contains a set of far-reaching obligations establishing a systemic and
    constitutional framework of interaction between WTO law and national law. WTO dispute settlement operates as an international layer of judicial review of national laws and administrative, judicial or
    quasi-judicial measures. Consequently, many of the WTO dispute settlement decisions and rulings relate in different ways to Members’ national laws. Yet, there is no systematic analysis of this vastly
    important subject. This book provides the first thorough map of an increasingly complex field. In doing so, it extends the enquiry beyond well-known formulas and combines practical analysis with principled
    discussion of how the treatment of national law in international law can -- and indeed should -- ensure effectiveness of international rules and promote good governance within nation-states.
