Features: The "Dictionary of Trade Policy Terms" aims to help better understand the various aspects that constitute a country's trade policy, enabling debates to be based on informed information. The dictionary includes concepts from the traditional General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) as well as increasingly new issues involved in the process of trade policy formulation. It strives to describe or explain, in simple language, the vocabulary, expressions, and events that have constituted the multilateral trading system since 1947. The purpose of this book is to avoid restating the orthodox views of a term or providing quasi-legal interpretations familiar to those working in trade policy in their daily work. Although the book does provide some definitions, being overly fixated on them can quickly lead to the use of obscure language that should be used for explanation.
