Overview

The legitimacy of the post-war international trade law system is being questioned. First, economic globalization, which was realized through the system, has not eliminated domestic income disparity and the disparity of economic development among states. Second, the system cannot adequately control activities of firms in the globalized market. Third, the system cannot adequately deal with global issues such as global warming. This research project aims to determine the possibility of overcoming these legitimacy crises of the post-war international trade law system by restructuring the system based on the concept of sustainability.
