| Description: | Trade politics are a complex nexus of domestic and international politics, economic conditions, global and regional institutions, business interests, and civil society. This course aims to provide an understanding of trade politics in the Asia-Pacific region - the largest market and manufacturing base in the world. The course introduces the latest developments in the Pacific Rim by reviewing the current status of global trade. This course has three main modules. First, the Trade in Goods module explains what trade looks like, how global trade works, and the barriers to trade. We will synthesize your understanding of trade by discussing advanced topics like global value chains and trade wars. Second, the Trade in Services and Digital Trade module introduces trade without physical existence. We will also address the recent controversies about trade (de-)regulations. The third module analyzes trade politics within and beyond the Asia-Pacific countries. In the end, students will learn about the top-down and bottom-up decision-making processes for trade policies. There are no prerequisites for this class. Students should be ready for active participation in student-oriented learning. |
