This course will examine the laws, policies, and multilateral institutions governing the global trade in goods and services. Because international trade law is presently in a moment of transition, we will begin with a few sessions on the theory and history of international trade before turning to our particular focus, the World Trade Organization (WTO) and its dispute resolution system. After an introduction to WTO rules concerning tariffs, non-tariff barriers, as well as the exceptions to these disciplines provided by public policy and other rationales, we will consider a series of specific topic areas, including trade and national security, regional agreements, and more.
No prior knowledge of international trade or of international law is required.
Attendance at the first class is mandatory for all currently enrolled and waitlisted students; any currently enrolled or waitlisted students who are not present on the first day of class (without prior permission of the instructor) will be dropped.
