Adequate Level of Data Protection and ADR in Cross-border Data Disputes — International Trade Law Perspective
Regulatory measures on cross-border data flows are essential to personal data protection laws. The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) of the European Union (“EU”) is one of such influential personal data protection regimes, which has become a model and has been adopted by many countries.

To protect personal data outside the EU, the GDPR provides certain safeguards for its movement across the EU border.

Course taught: Trade and investment in times of disruption, at 8th LSGL Summer School, HSE University
This course addressed the two main disruptive movements in international trade and investment law. First, we considered the critical proposals for review of the trade and investment liberal order. This movement is characterized by new topics to and forms for the regulation of the global trade and investment flows. The second movement of disruption is the most recent trend of protectionist measures amidst COVID-19, both to trade and investment flows. The purpose was to explore the clash of those two disruptive movements to the global economy.
