This course examines contemporary trade conflicts through the lens of international political economy (IPE), with a particular focus on tariffs, non-tariff barriers, and the World Trade Organization dispute settlement system. Students will study key trade policy instruments including antidumping measures, safeguard measures, and national security based trade restrictions and analyze how states use these tools in practice. By the end of the course, students will develop a practical understanding of how trade law, state power, and political interests shape global trade conflicts.
