Mercurio & Ni: Science and Technology in International Economic Law: Balancing Competing Interests

Bryan Mercurio (Chinese Univ of Hong Kong - Law) & Kuei-Jung Ni (National Chiao Tung Univ. - Law) have published Science and Technology in International Economic Law: Balancing Competing Interests (Routledge 2014). The table of contents is here. Here's the abstract:
Science and technology plays an increasingly important role in the continued development of international economic law. This book brings together well-known and rising scholars to explore the status and interaction of science, technology and international economic law. The book reviews the place of science and technology in the development of international economic law with a view to ensure a balance between the promotion of trade and investment liberalisation and decision-making based on a sound scientific process without hampering technological development.
