Overview
The International Trade Law program allows legal practitioners and other professionals to extend their knowledge in the area of international trade law. The subjects address a range of topics underpinning current and ongoing areas of study in international trade law.
With the rapid globalisation of markets and economies over the past decade, legal practitioners and other professionals have a strong imperative to extend their expertise in this expanding area.
The course identifies a range of topics which underpin current and ongoing areas of study in international trade law, namely:
- multilateral liberalisation of trade in goods and services: GATT 1994, GATS and WTO
- the role of regional trading blocs: NAFTA, ASEAN, EU, CER, MERCOUSOR
- exceptions to liberalisation: agriculture, textiles and clothing, sanitary and phyto-sanitary measures, and music and film
- anti-dumping and countervailing duties in a global economy
- foreign investment and the multilateral investment agreement
- regulation of financial markets: the Asian experience
- international commercial arbitration
- dispute resolution and the WTO, and
- intellectual property and trade: TRIPS.
Career options
Career options include legal practitioner or adviser to government or business specialising in international trade.
