Public Policy and Global Technological Integration F.M. Abbott & D. J. Gerber eds., Kluwer Law International (1997) From the publisher Overview New technologies are developing at a tremendous pace. They transform global political, economic, and social relations in ways that often present unique challenges to public policymakers who must plan for the future in a landscape subject to the constant changes of global technological integration. The World Trade Organization (WTO) faces these challenges in the context of regulating world trade, particularly in implementing the agreement on trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights (TRIPS). The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) must adapt to the challenges in regulating intellectual property rights and in promoting the development of technological infrastructure.

LAW AND POLICY OF REGIONAL INTEGRATION: THE NAFTA AND WESTERN HEMISPHERIC INTEGRATION IN THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION SYSTEM (1995) In hardcover and paperback
From the publisher:
The publication of Frederick Abbott's new book could not be more timely. The impact of the NAFTA on the North Americanmarketplace has clearly manifested itself over the past year and the emergence of the World Trade Organization (WTO)as the regulator of global commerce will have a profound influence on the conduct of international trade.
This book provides a comprehensive approach to the study of the NAFTA and its implications for the global trading system. It covers the political and legal process of NAFTA approval as well as the NAFTA's potential economic impact. Detailed analysis is given to the NAFTA rule systems, dispute settlement mechanisms, and environmental implications. Perhaps most importantly, this book situates the NAFTA into the broader global multilateral trading system now to be embodied in the WTO. It examines the legal rules of the WTO designed to regulate the activities of regional integration arrangements. It considers the potential for conflictbetween the rules and trade policies of the WTO and those of the NAFTA. This bookmholds a strong appeal for practitioners and academics interested in international economic law.

From the publisher:
This book represents the culmination of a project initiated in 1990 which brought together a distinguished group of judges, scholars and government officials to address the role of parliaments in the making and implementation of international treaty law.
Treaties are increasingly employed to define the rights and obligations of individuals in the field of human rights, to regulate the participation of persons (both individual and corporate) across the broad spectrum of economic activity within and across national boundaries, as well as to control human activity as it impacts on the environment. These are matters which historically were largely within the regulatory competence of national authorities, but now are increasingly the subject of international legislation. But the role of the parliament with respect to the making of international legislation has remained substantially confined within a customary historical model.
For the past several centuries, the national executive has played the principal role in the initiation, negotiation, conclusion and operation of treaties. The parliament's role has been secondary, being largely confined to the approval or rejection of engagements proposed by the executive. Over the past decades there has been a movement in a number of countries toward a more active role for parliament, particularly with respect to demands to provide guidance to the executive. Nevertheless, while the historical distribution of treaty powers may remain appropriate in traditional areas of executive prerogative (for example, in the realm of political relations and national security), one must question the extent to which increased parliamentary participation is adequate in relation to the making of international law by treaty, particularly when the treaty is an instrument with national legislative effects.
This volume is an important and timely resource for those who wish to pursue the question of the actual or desirable role of parliaments in the making and operation of treaties. ________________________________________________________________________________________
