Abstract
"In an international context, fairness is particularly important, since only a system which is perceived by its participants as fair can command acceptance and compliance. The main focus of this study is to investigate the development of the notion of fairness in US trade policy and law as well as the impact this notion has on international trade discussions and rule-making, and especially on the formation of the multilateral trade regime." "Fairness in the World Economy will be an insightful read for academics, students, researchers and policymakers with an interest in international trade issues as well as international affairs, relations and economics."--BOOK JACKET.
