Brand new paperback investigates how judicial politics affects cooperation in the WTO

New in softback from ECPR Press is Judicial Politics and International Cooperation: From Disputes to Deal-Making at the World Trade Organization

Judicial politics has emerged as a central feature of the multilateral trading system, alongside a steep decline in the World Trade Organization’s ability to deliver negotiated trade liberalisation. In this book, Arlo Poletti and Dirk De Bièvre put forward innovative arguments, and present original evidence, to shed light on the important and under-researched question of whether, and how, judicial politics has affected the prospects for cooperation in the WTO through multilateral trade rounds.

Praise for this book

'The authors demonstrate persuasively that the strengthening of enforcement in the WTO has had important consequences for the domestic politics of trade in member countries.' — Andreas Dür, University of Salzburg

'This thought-provoking book is a must-read for all theoreticians and practitioners in the field of international trade.' — Petros C Mavroidis, Columbia Law School

'Poletti and De Bièvre... offer a novel and nuanced argument by fully integrating domestic interest group dynamics into their theory.' — Manfred Elsig, World Trade I
