The authors reveal how trade sausages are actually made, not only in the US and EU, but also in emerging nations like Brazil, China and India. An ideal text for students who seek careers as lawyers, lobbyists or officials in the realm of trade policy.

At a time when the trading system is under fire from those who would hold it accountable for all the ills of globalization and technological change, there is a need to get back to basics. Aluisio de Lima-Campos and Juan Gaviria have taken on this challenge in this thoughtful and readable analysis of trade policy — what it is, how is it formulated and how does it work — not only for the US but for the EU and several key emerging markets. Introduction to Trade Policy provides a framework and valuable insights to inform the student, as well as, the practitioner.
R. Michael Gadbaw, Adjunct Professor and Distinguished Senior Fellow, Institute of International Economic Law, Georgetown Law School
A comprehensive introduction to trade policy by two very experienced authors. This book will help students to build a foundation in trade issues, and professionals to sharpen and refresh their skills. As trade rises up the agenda, publications like this are increasingly important. They help to increase levels of expertise on this complex but vital subject.
Roberto Azevedo, World Trade Organization Director-General
This book by a distinguished trade authority and practitioner combines intellectual rigor with practical reality. It provides a valuable guide to grade policy and its formulation across the world.
C. Fred Bergsten, Senior Fellow and Director Emeritus, Peterson Institute of International Economics
Trade is of vital importance to the world economy; it is what makes it grow and develop. Yet it is staggering how ill-informed we are about trade policy. Ignorance makes trade subject to dangerous politics. In this book, the authors have provided a highly lucid, holistic, comprehensive and compelling analysis. Let us hope it will be widely read.
