Teaching method
Classes will combine lectures with discussions on previously designated topics. Students will have advance access to reading materials and/or bibliographical references on the designated topics.
Evaluation method
Students may choose between two types of assessment: (i) an assessment exclusively based on the grade obtained at the final written exam (100%); or (ii) an assessment based on the weighted average resulting from the grade obtained in the final written exam (50%) combined with the grade resulting from active participation in the classroom (50%). The latter will require the reading of materials on and discussion of preselected topics, including but not restricted to excerpts taken from the case law of the WTO.
Subject matter
The syllabus covers the three pillars of the international economic order, with greater emphasis on the free trade pillar (WTO).
