Juan He is Assistant Professor of Law in the Guanghua Law School at Zhejiang University in China. Her current research interests lie in the areas of international trade law, international environmental law and WTO dispute resolution. She has published several peer-reviewed articles with a Chinese focus.

This book examines the novel challenge for developing countries to upgrade and optimize their industrial structure and trade composition by stimulating genuinely innovative and competitive industrial strength. The book specifically explores the issue of infant industry promotion under the legal framework of the WTO treaties and case law. Juan He argues that the regulatory room prescribed by the multilateral trade rules of the WTO does not allow adequate space for developing countries to encourage new and technologically advanced areas of production and trade, and suggests ways in which WTO rules could be modified to help enable developing countries' industrialization.
