Dictionary of Trade Policy Terms

6th Edition
Compiled by Walter Goode

The Dictionary of Trade Policy Terms explains in simple language over 3,000 terms used in international trade. Its main focus is on the multilateral trading system represented by the WTO agreements. In addition, it covers many of the trade-related terms used in other international organizations, such as the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, the World Intellectual Property Organization, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.

The last decade has seen significant developments in areas such as trade and investment facilitation, sustainability and regional trade agreements. This dictionary covers the vocabulary associated with such developments as well as other emerging trade issues.

The dictionary gives a comprehensive overview of the terms and concepts used in international trade policy. It explains this vocabulary in accessible language and provides numerous examples of how the terms are used. Cross-references allow readers to see the material in a broader context.
