Economists argue that, generally, anti-dumping actions restrict and distort competition. In political terms, anti-dumping measures are biased in favour of a privileged interest group: the producers. Legally, they infringe the obligation of National Treatment contained in the GATT and NAFTA. Within regional groupings they contradict the guidelines of Article XXIV(8) (b) of the GATT. At the same time, anti-dumping measures are an exclusive exercise of sovereignty and would seem to protect statehood and arguably other national interests of any importing state. The traditional alternative for anti-dumping actions has always been argued to be the application of domestic legislation against predation and price discrimination. It is suggested that this solution is inappropriate or at least incomplete. Many abuses, other than predation, can be exercised in transnational market: transnational vertical restraints such as tying, refusal to deal, restrictions on patents, trade marks and copyrights may all facilitate dumping. Indeed, in an international forum, what constitute market power and abusive conduct differ from what would otherwise be acceptable in a domestic market. Security and other national policies ought to be weighted against efficiency considerations. In this context, the European framework of analysis, where variables additional to efficiency are balanced in competition assessments, provides a good model for such an international code of competition. Indeed, within a regional economic grouping, interests may be different. Anti-dumping laws may be phased out if states are willing to see national distinction phasing out as well. It is argued in this book that NAFTA can constitute a laboratory for needed discussion on an international code of conduct of firms and governments. It will then be suggested that anti-dumping actions could be phased out within NAFTA only if a comprehensive system of competition laws were to be enforceable against any transnational restrictive business practice. But for all states to agree on such legislation, they must have reached parallel.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51181029753105,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51181032276241,"sku":"NIN9780198259206","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52354302607633,"sku":"NLS9780198259206","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0198259204.jpg?v=1751226480"},{"product_id":"international-organization-initiatives-book-gabrielle-marceau-9780197803295","title":"International Organization Initiatives","description":"How do changes in international organizations (IOs) come about? How do IOs adapt to respond to crises and unforeseen needs of their members, and what roles do the secretariats, and their heads play in this process? International Organization Initiatives deals with these questions and shows how IOs, their secretariats and executive heads launch and implement innovative activities. It sheds light on both proactive and reactive approaches to institutional evolution. \n\nBringing together distinguished scholars of international organizations and experienced practitioners, this volume showcases and investigates IOs' adaptive capacity, their achievements, and limitations. \"Through case studies and conceptual frameworks, the book explores a largely uncharted world of IO evolution to which international secretariats contribute significantly. The collection of chapters brings to light the mechanisms used in the past by IOs to adapt to what were, on each occasion, new challenges to their efforts to assist and respond to unprecedented needs of their members faced with new realities. \nInternational Organization Initiatives is a valuable resource for both scholars and practitioners interested in IOs and their capacity for change in response to global crises, members' demands, internal impulses or interactions with the outside world. Providing an in-depth look at governance model transformations and institutional innovations, it offers a collective wealth of knowledge and insights, along with lessons for future global governance.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51706904674577,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51706904936721,"sku":"NGR9780197803295","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52734499782929,"sku":"NIN9780197803295","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0197803296.jpg?v=1776940934"},{"product_id":"history-of-law-and-lawyers-in-the-gatt-wto-book-gabrielle-marceau-9781107448445","title":"A History of Law and Lawyers in the GATT\/WTO","description":"Bringing together original contributions from an unprecedented number of eminent current and former GATT and WTO staff members, including many current and former Appellate Body members, this book is a unique exploration of the development of the rule of the law in the multilateral trading system.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52120701763857,"sku":"NLS9781107448445","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52746725753105,"sku":"NIN9781107448445","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53147004436753,"sku":"GOR014775664","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781107448445.jpg?v=1757426882"},{"product_id":"history-of-law-and-lawyers-in-the-gatt-wto-book-gabrielle-marceau-9781107085237","title":"A History of Law and Lawyers in the GATT\/WTO","description":"Bringing together original contributions from an unprecedented number of eminent current and former GATT and WTO staff members, including many current and former Appellate Body members, this book is a unique exploration of the development of the rule of the law in the multilateral trading system.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52338711888145,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52338715492625,"sku":"NLS9781107085237","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781107085237.jpg?v=1758168977"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-gabrielle-marceau.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
