Content
This unit is about how nations and economies gain from trade and the reasons why they may be reluctant to pursue free trade at times. It covers topics such as factors determining international trade flows, trade policies, international organisations like GATT/WTO and trade-related international finance. A few new analytical techniques will also be learned. However, the unit is primarily of value in providing further practice in applied economic analysis, in the sense of using conceptual tools to analyse issues of trade, protectionism and globalisation being debated in the world economy. Upon completion of this unit, you will understand how free trade benefits the economy and businesses and the policies and decision-making processes that ensure stable trading relationships and well-functioning international supply chain of goods and services.
