Governing Global Trade: International Institutions in Conflict and Convergence

Cohn's topic of global trade is of enormous and proliferating interest. He provides a good background from 1945 to the present, and on core contemporary themes such as civil society participation and the domesticization of the trade agenda. Cohn's political science background will appeal direct to a university audience and a broader public policy market, while also suitable for those interested in trade in the cognates of economics and law. This work's theoretical framework embraces and synthesizes the major approaches in the field of international relations and will be appropriate for the dominant schools of realists and liberal institutionalists alike. This seminal work has been awarded the British Columbia Political Science Association Weller Prize for 2003.
