This volume, built on a recent series of courses at the Academy of European Law in Florence, addresses the overlapping regulatory trade regimes of the WTO, EU, and NAFTA. The various contributions deal with discrete areas of the international trading system. The coexistence of regimes, often governing simultaneously complex transnational transactions, is the focus of the volume.
