Course Contents/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

This course deals with current trade policy issues in turmoil from the viewpoint of international trade and international laws. After reviewing economic and politico-economic theory on trade policy, the issue of empirical measurement of trade policy is discussed. Furthermore, WTO discipline on trade in goods, trade in services, intellectual property rights, safeguards and exception, and government procurement is explored. The relationship between WTO and mega-FTAs such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is also in discussion.
