The book traces trade law's evolution from protectionist measures to globalization, emphasizing how understanding these regulations is essential for economic prosperity and social equity. For example, trade agreements, while boosting overall trade, can spark debates over their effects on employment and income inequality.
Organized into three sections, the book first defines core concepts, then explores import/export regulations and antitrust policies, and finally analyzes the role of administrative agencies.
Distinguished by its comprehensive scope and practical application of legal principles, Trade Regulation Laws provides a balanced perspective on trade policies, considering benefits and drawbacks while addressing controversies like protectionism versus free trade. It uses real-world examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts, making it accessible to business professionals, policymakers, and anyone interested in the legal and economic dimensions of international commerce.
