<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This book explores the ways to 'rethink', 'repackage' and 'rescue' world trade law in the post-COVID-19 era. Using the COVID-19 pandemic as an important context, the book makes original and critical contributions to the growing debate over a range of emerging challenges and systemic issues that might change the landscape of world trade law in the years to come. The book asks: do these unprecedented times and challenges call for reengineering the world trading system and a further retreat from trade liberalisation? <p/>The authors offer a rigorous and insightful analysis of whether and how the existing trade institutions and/or rules, including their latest developments, may provide room to deal with pandemic-induced trade-related issues, sustainable development goals, future crises and other existential threats to the multilateral trading system. <p/>The book reinforces the importance of international cooperation and the pressing need to reinvigorate the world trading system. The pandemic has provided a unique opportunity for governments to rebuild the political will needed for such cooperation. One should never let a serious crisis go to waste.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"This book reinforces the importance of the multilateral trading system and provides thought-provoking reflections on the future regulation of international trade given many of the contemporary issues we are grappling with such as the recovery from the pandemic and the need to better reflect sustainability concerns in our trade discourse.
