Science and Technology in International Economic Law: Balancing Competing Interests

This book explores the status and interaction of technology and international economic law. The book reviews the place of science and technology in the development of international economic law with a view to seeking a balance between promoting trade and investment liberalization and ensuring decisions are based on a sound scientific process and without hampering technological development. The book addresses the question of how the trade and investment regimes utilise science and technology, and whether it does so fairly and in the interest of global justice.
