Content
This unit provides you with essential analytical tools to explore the challenges and opportunities arising from global economic transactions and international supply chains. Key topics include the foundations of international trade, trade policy, the relationship between trade and inequality, strategic trade policy and the interplay between international trade and global supply chains. A central focus is placed on the critical link between trade and supply chains—how trade patterns influence supply chain design, and how supply chain strategies impact trade outcomes. To bridge theory with real-world application, the unit incorporates computer-based simulations and practical case studies.
