The author, Jim
Bacchus, is a well-known figure in international trade circles. He brings
decades of experience to the subject and a unique set of experiences. He
started his career as a reporter and then entered the world of trade policy by
serving as a special assistant to the US Trade Representative Reuben Askew, a
former governor of Florida. Deepening his Florida connection, Bacchus served
two terms as a member of the US Congress. When the World Trade Organization
(WTO) came along, he was tapped to be an international trade jurist for eight
years as a member of the dispute settlement system's Appellate Body. This was
an important formative period for the institution. Leaving Geneva, he came home
to be a trade lawyer in private practice, serving on various advisory bodies on
international trade issues. He is now an academic, teaching at the university
level. This is his fourth book on international economic matters.
