This volume brings together essays by world-renowned leaders in the field of international trade examining the operation of the WTO and its dispute settlement system. The experts who have contributed to this book include policymakers, scholars, lawyers and diplomats. Two major areas of inquiry are undertaken. The first half of this volume examines the governance and operation of the WTO and the international trading system. It pays particular attention to issues that affect developing country members of the WTO. The second half of this volume contains a detailed examination of the performance, operation, and challenges of the WTO's dispute settlement system.

This book is an outgrowth of a conference held at Columbia University in New York in the spring of 2006. The conference was the last of a series of five regional gatherings held around the world to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the WTO and its dispute settlement system. This volume includes essays that shed further light on some of the themes raised in those discussions, as well as edited transcripts from that conference.

"This remarkable book builds on a major conference in the series of conferences on the WTO Appellate Body work. This particular conference was held at Columbia University in the spring of 2006. The book contains major articles by speakers at that conference and others, appraising or commenting on the AB work, as well as short works based on transcripts of some of the discussions. Included are comments by many of the AB members themselves, as well as other WTO officials and other persons (academic or others who participate in and observe the work of the AB). The richness and variety of the manuscripts in this 1100 page work will undoubtedly prove to be an essential treasure of resources for lawyers, scholars and officials who grapple with the large body of jurisprudence already generated by the WTO dispute settlement system. Columbia University, and the editors of this book including Merit Janow, then appellate body member and professor at Columbia, as well as Victoria Donaldson and Alan Yanovich of the AB secretariat deserve much praise for this treasure."
- John H. Jackson, University Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Center

"Former Appellate Body Member Merit E. Janow and her co-editors have put together a truly impressive volume marking the tenth anniversary of the World Trade Organization. The book makes a major contribution to the literature that is notable for its comprehensive treatment of the subject matter, diversity and richness of views, and, most significantly, the reputations of its contributing authors. Another of the book's useful features is the inclusion in each sector of a panel discussion or roundtable in which the authors (and other experts) engage in a sometimes lively dialogue. These roundtables have facilitated interchanges among authors and commentators and have frequently provided different or additional perspectives."
- World Trade Review

 "This compendium is a useful introduction and reference for anyone interested in world trade law."  - Foreign Affairs
