About this title

Review

'... it is a fascinating read that delves deeply into the extremely complex and contentious issues surrounding how the transformative technology of genetic engineering is to be treated in domestic and international law. ... Daniel Wüger and Thomas Cottier have assembled an impressive team of legal authors from academia, international organizations, and governments. Their knowledge is impressive and extensive. ... I think this book should be read by anyone that has a serious interest in international issues surrounding biotechnology. ... The issues are examined at considerable depth and complex arguments are presented.' William A. Kerr, University of Saskatchewan, Canada

'... the volume continuously presents very well drafted, knowledgeable and illuminative contributions. Anyone interested in world trade law and its bearing on modern biotechnology regulation will highly profit from reading the articles, which are still largely state of the art.' European Yearbook of International Economic Law

Book Description

Biotechnology poses various challenges to international trade regulation. This volume examines whether existing international obligations of WTO Members are appropriate to deal with such challenges and whether there is a need for new international legal instruments, including a potential WTO Agreement on Biotechnology.
