The 8th WTI Summer Academy, 12 July - 13 August 2010

Launched in 2003, the World Trade Institute’s (WTI) Summer Academy addresses the increasing demand for up-to-date knowledge of the most cutting-edge issues in international trade regulation. Professionals, government officials, international civil servants, scholars, staff from non-governmental organizations and students who cannot attend the WTI’s full year Master’s programme can benefit from a compact exposure to – and a comprehensive inside look at – many of the hottest topics in trade regulation and global governance.

The forthcoming eighth WTI Summer Academy covers many of the most important and current topics in the field of international trade, from rule-making in services and investment to the commercial diplomacy of trade negotiations and the links between trade remedies and climate change mitigation. Mastering the economic impacts, legal principles, and political feasibility of trade regulation is a highly interdisciplinary challenge. Our courses are co-taught by many of the world’s leading practitioners, drawn from the fields of economics, law and international political economy. Participants with a diverse background of professional and academic expertise learn to blend the policy aspects of trade with thorough legal interpretation and economic analysis while establishing contacts with fellow professionals and faculty from all over the world.
