    Summary note
    • "This book analyses whether, and how, equity and equitable principles can be employed as juridical tools in the legal reasoning of judges and lawyers in World Trade Organization (WTO) disputes where there is interaction between norms derived from the multilateral trade regime and other international legal regimes. Bringing the literature on equity and equitable principles in international law up to date this book tackles several legal problems which have emerged in WTO dispute settlement practice as well as engaging with the concept of the fragmentation of international law. The book provides an original argument about the role and significance of equity and equitable principles in the debate over fragmentation by providing a coherent methodology for addressing conflicts and overlaps between WTO and non-WTO norms in the context of Dispute Settlement Body proceedings. "-- Provided by publisher.
    • "There has been little comprehensive treatment of the role of equity and equitable principles in WTO Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) proceedings. This lack is especially important in WTO disputes where normative overlaps and conflicts occur between the multilateral trade regime and other specialized international regimes. This book analyses whether and how equity and equitable principles can be employed as juridical tools in the legal reasoning of judges and lawyers in World Trade Organization (WTO) disputes. It especially focuses on challenges posed by fragmentation in international law, and asks how equity and equitable principles constitute a 'toolbox' capable of addressing these in WTO dispute settlement within this context. Anastasios Gourgourinis provides a coherent methodology for addressing conflicts and overlaps between WTO and non-WTO norms in the context of Dispute Settlement Body proceedings. As a work which explores both the potential role of equity and equitable principles in dispute settlement, and the effects of fragmentation in international law, this book will be of great interest and use to researchers and students in international trade and economic law, public international law, and international political economics"-- Provided by publisher.
