Abstract

In this chapter of the book ‘Conflicting Philosophies and International Trade Law—Worldviews and the WTO’, a proposal for reforming the SPS Agreement is developed. The proposed approach is inherently critical and advocates for contradictory procedures. The critical approach, as suggested, wants to stimulate scientific self-reflexivity and competition between contrasting scientific arguments. The proposed new approach towards the role of science in WTO law is considered preferable to a positivistic system enforcing ultimate ‘scientific truth’ by means of quasi-mandatory international standards, as well as preferable to a relativistic approach suggesting an ‘anything goes’ attitude in risk regulation.
