Book review: Symbolic power in the world trade organization

"Symbolic Power in the World Trade Organization. Matthew Eagleton-Pierce." Oxford University Press. December 2012. --- This book investigates the complex relationship between power and legitimation by drawing upon Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of symbolic power, aiming to advance the broader understanding of power in world politics. Graduate students in political science, economics, international law, globalisation and International Relations will find an interesting balance between theory and analysis of the cotton industry at a global scale, writes Yves Laberge.
