Course 13: Geopolitics and the Securitization of Global Trade

This course addresses two overlapping trends in trade and investment policy.

First, the increasing geopolitical tensions and the underlying trends towards managing markets. Second, the growing use of trade policy to address security concerns or objectives. It brings together a variety of both disciplinary perspectives (law, economics, political science) but also provides insights from theory and practice. Importantly, it provides a comprehensive overview of current trends and challenges and critically reflects on how governments and firms may need to strategically position themselves going forward.
