LL412E and LL413E are principally concerned with the law of the World Trade Organization, as a regime of public international law. Using WTO law as an illustration of multiple contemporary trends in international economic law and governance, they aim to provide both a solid grounding in the technical aspects of international trade law as well as a set of conceptual and critical tools for reflecting more deeply on the dynamics and logics of global economic governance. Students can take either course independently, or both courses together, but those taking International Economic Law II on its own will be expected already to have some basic training in WTO law. In International Economic Law I, we will discuss the history, economics and politics of the postwar international economic system, and then focus on the legal and institutional infrastructure of the post-1994 international trade regime. We will study WTO decision-making and dispute settlement, and core principles of the GATT.
