"The World Trade Organization (WTO) recently celebrated twenty years of existence. The general wisdom is that its dispute settlement institutions work well and its negotiation machinery goes through a phase of prolonged crises. Assessing the World Trade Organization overcomes this myopic view and takes stock of the WTO's achievements whilst going beyond existing disciplinary narratives. With chapters written by scholars who have closely observed the development of the WTO in recent years, this book presents the state of the art in thinking about WTO performance. It also considers important issues such as the origins of the multilateral system, the accession process and the WTO's interaction with other international organisations. The contributions shed new light on untold stories, critically review and present existing scholarship, and sketch new research avenues for a future generation of trade scholars. This book will appeal to a wide audience that aims to better understand the drivers and obstacles of WTO performance."

"Recent trends suggest that international economic law may be witnessing a renaissance of convergence – both parallel and intersectional. The adjudicative process also reveals signs of convergence. These diverse claims of convergence are of legal, empirical and normative interest. Yet, convergence discourse also warrants scepticism. This volume contributes to both the general debate on the fragmentation of international law and the narrower discourse concerning the interplay between international trade and investment, focusing on dispute settlement. It moves beyond broad observations or singular case studies to provide an informed and wide-reaching assessment by investigating multiple standards, processes, mechanisms and behaviours. Methodologically, a normative stance is largely eschewed in favour of a range of 'doctrinal,' quantitative and qualitative methods that are used to address the research questions. Furthermore, in determining the extent of convergence or divergence, it is important to recognize that there is no bright line or clear yardstick for determining its nature or degree."

"Praktik dumping dalam perdagangan internasional merupakan bentuk perdagangan yang tidak adil (unfair trade) dan akan merugikan banyak pihak di luar kedua pihak yang bertransaksi, salah satunya adalah pihak kompetitor dari negara lain. Praktik dumping juga dapat merusak pasar dan kestabilan harga yang seharusnya menjadi acuan perdagangan internasional, di mana harga tersebut akan dijadikan sebagai patokan awal dalam menjaga kestabilan pasar dan perdagangan secara luas. Adapun alasan mengapa praktik dumping dilarang, yaitu karena tindakan menjual barang dengan harga lebih rendah atau di bawah ongkos produksi pasar luar negeri dibandingkan dengan harga yang ditetapkan pasar dalam negeri sendiri sehingga dampak yang akan terjadi dalam perdagangan internasional di mana negara yang menjadi tujuan ekspor rentan terhadap kerugian dalam jumlah yang besar. Produk lokal sejenis tidak akan mampu bersaing harga dengan produk impor hasil dumping yang tentu saja dihargai lebih murah. Dalam menangani permasalahan anti-dumping dibuatlah ketentuan Pasal VI GATT 1994 yang mengatur secara jelas bagi produk yang dikategorikan sebagai produk dumping. Pasal VI GATT 1994 mengatur dasar bagi pemerintah suatu negara anggota yang dirugikan oleh praktik dumping dengan cara mengenakan Bea Masuk Anti-dumping (BMAD). Salah satu sengketa anti-dumping terjadi pada produk lemak alkohol (fatty alcohol) Indonesia (DS442) yang merupakan turunan dari lemak alam diperoleh dari minyak kelapa sawit (crude palm oil). Isu yang dipermasalahkan dalam DS442 ini salah satunya adalah mengenai Single Economic Entity (SEE), di mana penjualan produk lemak alkohol Musim Mas dilakukan oleh Inter-Continental Oils & Fats Pte. Ltd. (ICOFs) yang merupakan Marketing Arm berdomisili di Singapura.

The practice of dumping in international trade is an unfair form of trade and will effect many parties outside the two parties to the transaction, one of which is the competitor of another country. The practice of dumping can also damage the market and price stability which should be a reference for international trade, where the price will be used as a preliminary benchmark in maintaining market stability and broad trade. The reason why dumping practices are prohibited, because the action of selling goods at lower prices or below the cost of producing foreign markets compared to prices set by the domestic market itself so that the impact will occur in international trade where countries that are export destinations are vulnerable to loss in large numbers. Similar local products will not be able to compete with imported products from dumping products which are of course cheaper. In dealing with these problems, the provisions of Article VI GATT 1994 are made which clearly regulate products categorized as dumping products. Article VI GATT 1994 regulates the basis for the government of a member country which is disadvantaged by the practice of dumping by Imposing Anti-dumping Import Duty. One of the anti-dumping disputes occurred in Indonesian fatty alcohol (DS442) fat products, which are derived from natural fats obtained from crude palm oil. One of the issues at issue in DS442 is the Single Economic Entity (SEE), in which the sale of Musim Mas alcohol fat products is carried out by Inter-Continental Oils & Fats Pte. Ltd. (ICOFs) which is a Marketing Arm domiciled in Singapore."

"Sebagai negara berkembang, Indonesia sangat membutuhkan bantuan investor asing untuk dapat meningkatkan kesejahteraan rakyatnya. Ketentuan perdagangan diatur oleh World Trade Organization (WTO) dengan tujuan mengurangi segala hambatan atau barrier dalam perdagangan dunia. Seiring dengan masuknya berbagai produk dan investasi asing, pada umumnya negara berkembang juga akan memberlakukan ketentuan local content requirements yang di Indonesia dikenal dengan sebutan Tingkat Komponen Dalam Negeri (TKDN). Dalam bidang pembangunan infrastruktur ketenagalistrikan, khususnya Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Surya (PLTS), Pemerintah Indonesia mengatur tentang kadar minimal TKDN dalam pembangunan pembangkit listrik. Ketentuan TKDN tersebut secara normatif bertentangan dengan prinsip WTO yaitu National Treatment karena terdapat diskriminasi terhadap produk impor. Dalam tesis ini, penulis menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif, dimana penelitian dilakukan dengan mengkaji regulasi TKDN Indonesia terkait pembangunan pembangkit listrik tenaga surya terhadap perjanjian WTO serta penerapan regulasi di beberapa negara untuk dilakukan analisis secara lebih mendalam. Penulis ingin mengkaji apakah ketentuan TKDN yang dibuat oleh Pemerintah Indonesia selaras dengan kebijakan WTO. Penulis menyimpulkan bahwa kebijakan TKDN Indonesia dapat melanggar ketentuan WTO karena tidak dimiliki dan dioperasikan secara langsung oleh negara.

As a developing country, Indonesia really needs the help of foreign investors to be able to improve the welfare of its people. Trade provisions are regulated by the World Trade Organization (WTO) with the aim of reducing all barriers or barriers in world trade. Along with the entry of various foreign products and investments, in general, developing countries will also apply local content requirements, which in Indonesia are known as Tingkat Komponen Dalam Negeri (TKDN). In the field of electricity infrastructure development, especially Solar Power Plants (PLTS), the Government of Indonesia regulates the minimum level of TKDN in the construction of power plants. The provisions on TKDN normatively conflict with the WTO principle, namely National Treatment, because there is discrimination against imported products. In this thesis, the author uses a normative juridical research method, in which research is conducted by examining Indonesian TKDN regulations related to the construction of solar power plants against WTO agreements and the application of regulations in several countries for a more in- depth analysis. The author wants to examine whether the TKDN provisions made by the Government of Indonesia are in line with WTO policies. The author concludes that Indonesia's TKDN policy may violate WTO provisions because it is not owned and operated directly by the state."

"The stalling of the Doha Development Round trade negotiations has resulted in bilateral and regional free trade agreements (BRTAs) becoming an important alternative. These agreements have proliferated in recent years, and now all of the major trading countries are engaging in serious bilateral trade negotiations with multiple trading partners. This second edition provides updated and comprehensive analysis of the contents and trends of recent BRTAs. It is unique in that it situates these agreements in their economic, international law and international relations contexts. It also comprehensively reviews the recent agreements in relation to each substantive topic covered (e.g. intellectual property, investment, services and social policy) so as to provide an overview of the law being created in these areas."
