Description

This course introduces students to the legal, business and policy aspects of international trade, focusing on the legal framework of the various WTO Agreements. This course analyses the regulatory legal principles of the WTO and how they operate at both the national and international level. More specifically, the course covers issues such as tariffs and tariff negotiations, quotas, most favoured nation, regional trade agreements, national treatment, intellectual property, anti-dumping, export subsidies, countervailing duties, exceptions for environmental, health and safety and other issues of contemporary importance. The course gives participants a sound understanding of key legal issues and principles relating to international trade and a thorough knowledge and understanding of the importance of domestic and international policy issues to the world trading system. There are no prerequisites for this course and no background in economics, international relations or international law is assumed.
