LAW 306 Law, Economics and Politics of International Trade Law School Recommended for route(s): [ Regulatory & Policy ] Business Law: International Why it is relevant for ... [ Regulatory & Policy ] as a Related Elective for those interested in International Trade : International clients may need assistance in seeking relief from trade barriers or other discriminatory treatment by foreign government agencies or foreign competitors, so it is useful to understand both the WTO and other components of the international dispute resolution system. Students who are sure their focus will be international trade should take one or both of the following courses to understand the operation of the WTO and the role of various U.S. policies in the negotiation of trade agreements: Law, Economics and Policy of Trade; the World Trade Organization (WTO) Law, Policy and Politics. General course Description: (Same as ECON 164 and POLISCI 216). This course, taught by an economist, a lawyer, and a political scientist, examines selected aspects of the WTO system from a legal and social scientific perspective. The goal is to integrate a careful examination of topical legal issues with theoretical and empirical research in economics and political science to develop both positive and normative themes regarding the WTO as an international institution. Possible topics include the dispute resolution system, the choice between multilateral and regional or bilateral trade agreements, the role of developing countries in the WTO, and the relationship between WTO law, domestic regulation and national sovereignty. The course is open to law students, public policy students, advanced undergraduates, and others with an interest in the subject matter. Undergraduate microeconomics (Stanford Econ 51 or equivalent) is strongly recommended as a prerequisite. Course Style: A Substantive/ Perspective course looks at law from an external or non-traditional standpoint. |
