The Political Economy of Trade Policy

Jagdish Bhagwati has been a highly productive, world class teacher and scholar over the last 40 years. This stimulating volume, by former students and professional colleagues, is a fitting tribute to him and his work. It advances several topics on which Bhagwati himself pioneered and adds some important new ones.

For those who need to get up to date, here is a vital compendium.
