Unger, Free Trade Reimagined (2007) and also available at http://press.princeton.edu/chapters/s_8473.pdfThere are numerous other books on globalization, but many of these tend not to focus on free trade, as such, or do notdo so as well as the books listed above. One focusing on development issues is:Stiglitz and Charlton, Fair Trade for All: How Trade Can Promote Development (2007)A fairly lively book on the Doha negotiations is:Blustein, Misadventures of the Most Favoured Nations: Clashing Egos, Inflated Ambitions, and the Great Shambles of theWorld Trade System (2009)Online materials:A great deal of material is available online. Most important is the WTO website: www.wto.org and its documents databaseat http://docsonline.wto.org. Another useful site for primary material and commentary is www.worldtradelaw.net, and theblog on this site is a useful source for identifying current disputes in the field of international trade. There are alsonumerous NGOs with useful information, including the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development(www.ictsd.org), which has a weekly newsletter (Bridges) covering recent developments, and the South Centre(www.southcentre.org).PAPER 24.
