Law, Economics and Politics of International Trade
Description
This course, taught by an economist, a lawyer, and a political scientist, will examine 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 will 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.
This course is cross-listed with the Economics Department (Same as ECON 164).
This course is open to first-year Law School students.
