About the author

Contributor Notes

STEVEN SHRYBMAN is an Ottawa-based lawyer who practices international trade law with the firm Sack Goldblatt Mitchell. The former Executive Director of the West Coast Environmental Law Association, he has written extensively on a variety of legal and environmental subjects.

Editorial Reviews

"Shrybman does a good job of laying out his argument, explaining succinctly how the trade body works and the power of enforcement mechanisms."

Toronto Star

"The strength of Shrybman's book is in the specifics. Supporters of free trade should read this book. They'll never look at the WTO in the same way again."

Georgia Straight

"Steve Shrybman has an unparalleled ability to convert the obscure jargon of international trade agreements into a language that allows people to grasp their profound impact on the environment and on the social, economic and cultural fabric of our communities."

Maude Barlow

"This book explains just what the WTO is, and how its policies might affect Canadians. The book is a -- perhaps the only -- guide to what the WTO is up to."
