Summary:

This book employs a multi-level and multi-arena perspective to analyze global rule making for international trade. It explains why actors - both state and non-state actors - prefer specific arenas of global rule-making. It also addresses the question of which institutional designs serve the aims of specific groups better and how are the rules of the different arenas related.
