Indiana Law students can build their own plan of study by taking classes from a number of different areas, or they can choose an area of focus.
Description The growing importance of international trade in the global economy has made international trade law one of the most important topics in international relations and international law. This course focuses on the international legal framework for international trade provided by the World Trade Organization (WTO). The course will cover political and economic arguments for and against free trade, the history of the GATT system and the creation of the WTO, and many of the core topics of the WTO#s complex set of rules on international trade in goods and services. These topics will include WTO dispute settlement, tariffs, quantitative restrictions, principles of non-discrimination (most-favored-nation treatment and national treatment), exceptions to WTO rules, agreements on sanitary and phytosanitary measures and technical barriers to trade, trade in services, and intellectual property rights. In covering these topics, the course will address current controversies in the WTO system, including those related to environmental protection, human rights, and development. The course has no pre-requisites, and no knowledge of economics is required. Grades for this course will be based on a final examination.
