The negotiation, implementation and policing of trade agreements involves nation states, non-state actors, NGOs, transnational businesses and institutions all pursuing vested interests. This book explores the role of trade diplomacy in today's global economy to provide the reader with an unparalleled overview of the field in theory and practice.

This is the first book to tell the story of the diplomacy that has made the international trading system what it is today. It reveals how three major transformations over the past two centuries have shaped the way goods, services, capital and labour cross borders, as buyers and sellers meet in the global marketplace.
