《世界貿易評論》是世界貿易組織秘書處與劍橋大學出版社密切合作倡議設立的。它是一份獨立的期刊- -編輯和除一名外的所有編輯委員會成員均來自大學院系- -其中包括從經濟、法律、政治和跨學科角度就與多邊貿易制度有關的問題所寫的文章。優先考慮的論文不僅學術嚴謹，而且政府政策官員和更廣泛的公眾也可以閱讀。該雜志還收錄了一些試圖反駁或挑戰已發表論文的短文。

The World Trade Review was established at the initiative of the Secretariat of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in close cooperation with Cambridge University Press. It is an independent journal - the Editor and all but one member of the Editorial Board are drawn from university faculties - that includes articles written from economic, legal, political and inter-disciplinary perspectives on issues of relevance to the multilateral trading system. Priority is given to papers that, along with being academically rigorous, are also accessible to government policy officials and the wider public. The journal also includes shorter articles seeking to rebut or challenge published papers.
