Questions and assignments are integrated throughout to allow them to assess their understanding, while chapter summaries reinforce learning. At the end of each chapter, an exercise reflecting real-life trade problems is included to challenge students as well as practitioners enabling them to hone their practical and analytical skills. The title is an essential tool for any student of WTO law, either at undergraduate or postgraduate level, but may equally serve others as an introductory guide to the WTO.
