Paul Blustein, the author of "Misadventures of the Most Favored Nations", comes back with another tale of "Misadventures of the Most Powerful Nations". It provides not only important insights on some of the most important systemic issues facing the WTO, but also a peek into the way China handled its disputes (by, for example, hiring foreign lawyers, something Greg and I discussed in detail in our recent paper). It also reveals the internal dynamics within the closed doors of Appellate Body Secretariat, especially how the deliberations and exchange of views process worked (or more appropriately did not work) in one case. A sobering read for all.
