The module combines formal lectures, interactive presentations, case studies, participant activities and exercises to maximise the impact of the learning experience. There is ample time to consider the theory and apply the skills discussed and it is expected that these interactive exercises will serve to reinforce some of the learning on the module. Various trade policies are explored and lectures demonstrate why economists generally support free trade. Historical experience is considered, highlighting how technological changes and reduction of trade barriers helped transform the world economy. Tariffs, antidumping and countervailing duties, government procurement policies, preferential trading arrangements, trade with developing countries and emerging markets, and the World Trade Organization are examined. In addition, company case histories will be presented to illustrate key themes in the module.
