Goals of the Course
This course provides an examination of international law concerning economic globalization, in particular the law on the World Trade Organization (WTO) and related trade and investment agreements as the main aspects of global economic order. It first provides a brief introduction to the history and evolution of the legal framework for trade liberalization and investment protection. It then proceeds to examine WTO law, focusing primarily on the WTO Agreement on Goods (GATT) and on the WTO Dispute Settlement Understanding (DSU), while a brief overview of topics such as the General Agreement on Services (GATS) and financial services in the GATS as well as intellectual property under the WTO will also be provided.
The purpose of this course is for students to obtain both the knowledge of international trade law – including a critical mass of case-law – and the skills which will enable them to analyze to what extent regulatory measures that have impact on international trade are consistent with these laws. It also provides the basis for the analysis of issues of controversy such as the role of these fields of law in the global legal order.
