The International Economic Law Background
The International Economic Law Background
This chapter discusses how WTO constitutionalization models emerged from international economic law, and argues that the field is characterized by a number of tendencies which fuelled speculation about WTO constitutionalization. These tendencies include an increasing conflation of institutions with constitutions; integration of world markets through globalization; a consensus on the benefits of liberalization; an expansion of law to take in new forms of regulation; and an anxiety about how to define and limit the field of economic law and its role in transforming international order.
