This edited volume endeavours to encourage discussions for developing a conceptual understanding of the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies under the framework of the World Trade Organization (WTO). The book at the onset establishes the link between subsidies and law relating to the World Trade Organization. This is to ensure that even a reader with a little or no understanding of the underlying concepts is able to grasp the arguments presented in a substantial manner. It then delves deeper into the ongoing debate over the issue of fisheries subsidies at the WTO platform. What makes this work unique is that it studies this subject from the perspective of developing countries, with special attention paid to India. As the Fisheries Subsidies agreement has yet not come into force at the time of writing, this book will act as a primer for students and researchers in the domain of International Trade Law.
