Abstract

This notable book is part of an ambitious project entitled �Max Planck Commentaries on World Trade Law�. As is widely known, the concept of commentaries originates in the civil law tradition and may be traced back to what the editors of this volume dub the �Roman legal science� (at ix), crystallized in the Corpus Juris Civilis which Justinian I commissioned one and a half millennia ago. Most of all, the comprehensive nature of this volume is outstanding. Granted, similar efforts have been undertaken previously. As far as the GATT/WTO case law (jurisprudence) is concerned, the WTO itself provides a well-documented compilation.1 As for the Uruguay Round negotiation history, Terrence Stewart published a valuable volume.2 Yet this Commentary has combined all these elements, offering readers a one-stop service while adding even more extensive contents, such as critiques and reform proposals, on the law of the WTO.
