In this book, the authors analyze the claims that
antidumping policies are necessary to achieve fairness in trade relations
and that such policies are a safeguard against the predatory pricing that leads to monopoly. They describe the current
antidumping programs of the World Trade Organization, the European Union, and the United States and offer pragmatic recommendations for reform of antidumping rules and practices. Mr. Hindley is a reader in trade policy in the Department of
Economics at the London School of Economics and is codirector of the Trade Policy Unit of the London-based Centre for Policy Studies. Mr. Messerlin is professor of economics at the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris and consultant to the OECD and the European Union Commission.
