About this Unit
This unit examines the legal regime governing the international exchange of goods, services and capital. While the focus of the unit will be the WTO and the GATT and GATS agreements, attention will also be given to the interaction of trade and monetary issues, and the interplay of law, politics and diplomacy in regulating these issues. Topics include: the international legal framework for international trade and finance; institutional, structural and transactional aspects of international trade and finance; the impact of national and foreign trade policies on world trading activities; the role and interest of Australia as a trading nation; and trade as a political issue.
