Ward, QC, as a tribute to the lasting impact of his work on the academic study of tax treaties.rnrnThe essays, written by internationally recognized scholars and practitioners, highlight two important aspects of Ward's career: the study of tax as an academic discipline and the development of an international perspective to further a common global approach to the interpretation of tax treaties.rn rnDavid A. Ward was the author of numerous articles and presentations for the Canadian Tax Foundation and IBFD, the co-publishers of this exceptional collection honouring the memory of a truly iconic figure in the study of international tax law.
