Contemporary International Trade: University of Turku

The University of Turku offers the Contemporary International Trade course through the Turku Åbo Summer School, providing a comprehensive introduction to international trade law from both World Trade Organization (WTO) and European Union (EU) perspectives. The course explores the structure and principles of the WTO, key agreements such as GATT, GATS, and TRIPS, and examines the interplay between WTO and EU frameworks, particularly in the context of challenges arising during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students will engage in lectures, group work, and a take-home exam to deepen their understanding of the multilateral trading system.
