ECN 295-01 - Special Topic: Globalization and Trade Policy

4 credits (Spring)

The main theme of this course is globalization with a focus on international trade. We start out by discussing past and current trends in world trade; theoretical foundations of why and what nations trade and their welfare implications. We then introduce the political economy of trade policy and institutions of trade as well as examine trade agreements. Through readings and class discussions we cover current debates/controversies in trade-related globalization topics.
