The ideology of human rights protection has gained considerable momentum during the second half of the twentieth century at both national and international level and appears to be an effective lever for bringing about legal change. This book analyzes this strategy in economic and commercial policy and considers the transportation of the 'public law' discourse of basic human rights protection into the 'commercial law' context of economic policy, business activity and corporate behaviour. The volume will prove indispensable for anyone interested in human rights, international law, and business and commercial law.

Professor Christopher Harding has published widely on aspects of European, International and Regulatory Law. Naomi Salmon has a particular interest in the regulation of GMOs and notions of `Risk'. Uta Kohl's research interests include Computer/Internet Law, Private International Law and Jurisdiction under Public International Law. All three authors are based at the Law School, University of Wales, Aberystwyth.
