Launch of the Elgar Companion to the WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION (WTO)

The Elgar Companion to the World Trade Organization – launching at this event – provides an extensive guide to understanding the WTO, the current state of affairs on global trade and its geopolitical angles, and its impact on the global economy. Spread among 50 chapters and 70+ authors coming from all the regions of the world, the companion deep dives into an array of trade-related issues focusing in particular on three overarching topics: i) digitalization and technology; ii) facilitating the flow of goods, services and investment; and, iii) geopolitics.
You are cordially invited to join a discussion on these topics with global academic leaders, hosted by the Harvard Law School Law and International Development Society, and the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies at Harvard.
