This book reveals how conflicting worldviews are at the root of
public controversies on policy and trade issues. It highlights the
particularly controversial disputes at the level of the World Trade
Organization in the case of regulating beef-hormones and GMOs,
aiming to show how negotiators of international agreements, members
of dispute settlement bodies, and policy makers in general could
have recourse to concepts of other disciplines such as epistemology
and philosophy in order to address deadlocked legal disputes.
Ultimately, the book is a manifesto for independent and critical
research.
