Features: Currently, there are numerous books available on the World Trade Organization (WTO), but most of them fall into either popular or research categories, lacking comprehensive and systematic introductions suitable for use by students at higher military academies. In particular, there is a notable absence of textbooks specifically designed for international trade, economics, and management majors. While the WTO is well-known, there is a general lack of clear understanding of its true meaning. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the rules currently agreed upon by WTO members, helping readers understand the nature, functions, and role of the WTO, as well as clarifying any misconceptions or ambiguities. Based on the fundamental framework of the WTO and the rules concerning goods trade, services trade, and intellectual property, this book conducts both legal and economic analyses of the provisions in each relevant agreement. It also particularly examines the political context behind the formation of these agreements, enabling readers to gain a deeper understanding of the nature of the WTO's coordinating management. Target Audience: Students, faculty, and professionals in economics and management.
