This
module aims to enhance students' understanding of the theory of international
trade and the drivers of globalization. Participants will delve into both the
theoretical underpinnings and real-world manifestations of various economic
phenomena shaping contemporary economies. We will start with an exploration of
diverse facets of globalization before we progress to an in-depth analysis of
international trade relations.

Students
will gain the ability to recognize the determinants of international trade as
derived from traditional trade theory. They will also develop the skills to
evaluate the impact of trade policies and discern the economic ramifications of
globalization. Moreover, students will be equipped to critically assess
economic globalization and discern the role of trade policies and institutions
within this context. The course structure will comprise lectures, class
discussions, and in-class quizzes, providing complementary learning
opportunities for students.
