The authors of this unique publication should be commended for providing a comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis of the new trade and human rights debate. Their most notable achievement is their capacity to clearly demarcate the main parameters of all the legal, social, human and economic dimensions of the interaction between trade liberalisation and the protection of human rights. Avant-guardiste and now fully aware of today's crises, the authors greatly assist readers in understanding the role that not only the WTO in particular, but also market opening and trade disciplines in general, play in the pursuit of enhanced human rights.' - Gabrielle Marceau, World Trade Organization, Counsellor, Cabinet of the Director-General Pascal Lamy and University of Geneva, Switzerland.
