| Abstract: |
The aim of this thesis is to give reader a comprehensive idea about the rules determining borders within which international trade takes place. It describes an evolution process of these rules via the history of the World Trade Organization and empirical data on the use of safeguards, countervailing duties, subsidies and anti-dumping measures. It sketches a picture of some current issues, both practical and theoretical and attempts to analyze selected ones (particularly the dispute settlement mechanism, the negotiating mechanism and the position of poor countries). |
