Digital trade is the future, but do we really understand what digital trade is and what challenges it poses to trade policy-makers and regulators? This Research Handbook on Digital Trade is an excellent starting point (and more) if you want to understand digital trade better. The 26 contributions, written by many of the top experts on the topic and skillfully edited by David Collins and Michael Geist, are a must-read for international trade lawyers. -- Peter van den Bossche, University of Bern, Switzerland Digital trade agreements have become the spaghetti bowl that Jagdish Bhagwhati warned us about. Moreover, these agreements are way behind data-driven developments and don't appear to be building trust. Collins and Geist have provided us with a cornucopia of insights to better understand our digital reality. -- Susan Ariel Aaronson, George Washington University, US 'The Research Handbook on Digital Trade is essential for anyone interested in the rapidly evolving landscape of global digital commerce. In this comprehensive work, David Collins and Michael Geist bring together leading experts to cover trade agreements, regional approaches, policy challenges, and emerging technologies, providing valuable insights into the complex world of digital trade law and policy. It is a must-have resource for professionals, scholars, and policy-makers alike.' -- Andrew Mitchell, Monash University, Australia
