NCCR Trade Regulation is a specialized book that addresses the complex relationships and challenges in the field of international trade law. It is based on a research project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and led by Professor Thomas Cottier from the University of Bern. The book covers twelve trade-specific topics in the area of intellectual property and aims to assist regulatory authorities in promoting coherence within the fragmented system of international trade regulations. The content of the book largely derives from articles available from Wikipedia and other free online sources. NCCR Trade Regulation offers innovative and concrete policy recommendations that seek to achieve a better balance between economic and other regulatory goals, taking insights from the disciplines of law, economics, and political science into account.
