The constitutionalization of the World Trade Organization : legitimacy, democracy, and community in the international trading system /

This work untangles debates about constitutionalisation and argues that the WTO is not, and should not, be described as a constitution by the standards of any conventional definition, or by the lights of any constitution to which we ought to aspire.
