The book was co-authored by Peter Van den Bossche, the WTI's Director of Studies, and Werner Zdouc, Director of the Knowledge and Information Management, Academic Outreach and WTO Chairs Programme Division of the WTO.

The fifth edition continues to explore the institutional and substantive law of the WTO. It has been updated to incorporate all new developments in the WTO's ever-growing body of case law. Moreover, each chapter includes a 'Further Readings' section to encourage and facilitate research and discussion on the topics addressed. As in previous editions, each chapter also features a summary to reinforce learning.

• Ensures its market leading status by retaining its comprehensive coverage, rigorous analysis and pedagogical features.
• Provides a thorough grounding in the subject by focussing on key basic principles and the underlying logic of WTO law and the world trading system.
• Fully up-to-date commentary on the most recent case law, development in international trade law and global economy, including development due to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis and the US trade policy change under the Trump administration.
