Conclusion

Summary

Not only has this study confronted the question of determining causation in respect of certain provisions of WTO law, but also how to precede the determination of a causal link with an effective non-attribution analysis. In other words, the particular type of causal analysis that has been at the heart of this book has had a dual character – namely, the question of not only how to draw a causal link between two factors, but also the question of how to exclude causation between an effect and other known factors. In this sense, the causal analysis with which this book has been concerned has both positive and negative features to it.
