U.S. International Trade Regulation - A Primer (Hardcover)

From NAFTA to GATT to U.S.-Japanese trade, the tensions of international trade law and policy absorb the media and confuse the public. In this complex environment, terms such as dumping and Super 301 are tossed around routinely by international trade professionals.

Journalists, academics, policy makers, and interested lay persons-anyone who has trouble making heads or tails of the specialized language of international trade -- will find in this volume succinct, informative description of international trade terminology and issues.

After presenting a history of U.S. trade laws, William H. Lash III and Robert P. Parker discuss the structure and sources of U.S. trade law, unfair trade laws, restrictions on foreign investment in the United States, environmental regulation and international trade, international trade and labor, and domestic preferences and international procurement. They analyze the specific statutes and relate them to actual cases of investigations and petitions.

The authors have written an indispensable reference to international trade laws. Index and glossary.
