| Course objective |
In the short-term, this course aims that participants become able to analyze given trade-related cases in terms of consistency with the WTO law. In the long-term, it can provide them with basic knowledge necessary for further discussion on issues including influence of WTO law on domestic laws, economic and industrial policies of Member countries and the role of WTO law in Global Governance. 本講義は、短期的には受講者が与えられた貿易紛争事案をWTO法適合性の観点からの分析が可能になることを目標とする。長期的には、受講生が加盟国の国内法と国内経済・産業政策に対するWTO法の影響及びWTOのグローバル・ガバンナンスにおける役割等の問題について更に議論を深めるために必要な基礎知識を習得することを狙う。 |
