| Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
|
With the growing importance of the world trade, the knowledge of
public regulation of international economic activities has become a
necessity.
Lawyers working in international and business environments
increasingly have a need to understand the regulatory framework
under which economically interdependent states operate. The
understanding and expectations to legal certainty of the regulatory
framework of international trade is essential for global
businesses in order to plan their trade in goods
and services and their protection of intellectual property
rights on global scale.
The course gives an overview of the law, economics and policies
underlying international economic relations and teaches the
principles of international economic regulation.
The course covers the regulation of international trade in
goods, services and intellectual property rights with special focus
on the law and economics of the WTO. It covers:
- Legal Foundations of International Economic Integration
- GATT/WTO System, rules on international trade and dispute
resolving mechanisms.
- Global Intellectual Property law
- Global Trade and Social Issues
- Economic rationale for trade agreements
The course is taught through lectures with class-discussions and
through case-studies. Thorough preparation and in-class
participation is expected.
