2005014710CN The Hague: Kluwer Law International 2005. Second Edition. Cloth/Laminated Boards. Like New/No d/j as Published. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Type: Book Among restrictions on imports safeguard measures are particularly controversial in that they are invoked in the absence of any unfair trade practice. Safeguards interfere substantially with the normal stream of trade and their improper application undermines the objectives of the WTO. Recent WTO cases have brought the attention of trade lawyers to the absence of comprehensive materials on this complex subject and highlighted the need for a reliable guide to the WTO rules on safeguards. Dr. Y.S. Lee perhaps the world's foremost authority on safeguard measures has provided such a guide here updated in its second edition. Readers may expect from this book comprehensive coverage on safeguards to date with legal analysis of the important issues in the interpretation and application of the current rules on safeguards. The author also proposes modifications to enhance and clarify the discipline of safeguards. The crucial issues raised include the following: economic and political justifications of safeguards; applicability of GATT Article XIX; interpretation and application of the Agreement on Safeguards including nondiscriminatory application of safeguards and justification of safeguards-in-response; transitional product-specific safeguard measures against China; and emergency safeguards to trade in services. The focus of the book is on the WTO Agreement on Safeguards as interpreted by WTO Panel and Appellate Body reports in key cases including Korea' Dairy Products Argentina's Footwear United States' Wheat Glutten United States' Lamb Meat Chile's Price Band System United States' Line Pipe and United States' Steel Products. Dr. Lee summarizes the various key findings and provides lucid and well-balanced analysis of these reports. "Safeguard Measures in World Trade" comes at a time when safeguard measures continue to mount in various parts of the world and a possible domino effect can destabilize the international trading system. It will be of inestimable value to government officials trade lawyers international business people and academics in trade law and related fields. 265pp. Kluwer Law International hardcover
