520			_aIn an era where trade has become a weapon of geopolitical influence, Power, Politics, and Tariffs delivers a masterful analysis of the hidden forces shaping global commerce. Written by Alan Bennett, a distinguished international trade law expert with decades of experience advising multinational corporations and governments, this authoritative work exposes how nations manipulate tariffs, economic sanctions, and trade barriers to advance their strategic interests. Bennett takes readers on a revelatory journey through the evolution of international trade, from the post-WWII expansion to today's strategic competition. With penetrating insight, he examines landmark trade disputes, dissects the weaknesses of the World Trade Organization, and reveals how economic nationalism threatens the rules-based trading system that has underpinned global prosperity for generations. Drawing on his unique expertise as a former legal advisor to the IMF and adjunct professor of international trade law, Bennett offers a comprehensive framework for understanding today's most contentious economic battles—from Brexit to the U.S.-China tariff wars, from environmental protectionism to digital trade barriers. Most importantly, Bennett doesn't just diagnose the crisis in global trade governance—he prescribes bold, innovative reforms to create a more equitable, efficient, and sustainable international economic order. For business leaders, policymakers, and citizens navigating an increasingly fragmented global economy, this book provides the essential roadmap to understanding—and surviving—the age of trade warfare.
