The course, taught to LLM students at Stocholm University, focused on the laws, principles and jurisprudence of World Trade Law. Students were taught the basic principles of multilateral trade and were encouraged to engage with the practice of international trade law with the help of current jurisprudence and hypothetical dispute scenarios. The students recieved an appreciation of the purpose and functions of the WTO and be familiar with its principal rules, impact and jurisprudence.

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.
This book explores the ways to 'rethink', 'repackage' and 'rescue' world trade law in the post-COVID-19 era. Using the COVID-19 pandemic as an important context, the book makes original and critical contributions to the growing debate over a range of emerging challenges and systemic issues that might change the landscape of world trade law in the years to come. The book asks: do these unprecedented times and challenges call for reengineering the world trading system and a further retreat from trade liberalisation?
The ‘new NAFTA’ agreement between Canada, Mexico, and the United States maintained the system for binational panel judicial review of antidumping and countervailing duty determinations of domestic government agencies. In US–Mexico disputes, this hybrid system brings together Spanish and English-speaking lawyers from the civil and the common law to solve legal disputes applying domestic law. These panels raise issues regarding potential bicultural, bilingual, and bijural (mis)understandings in legal reasoning.
The panel focussed on exploring the alternative ways to settle diasgreements and disputes and reboot the existing dispute settlement machinery.
Here are the skeleton points of my presentation:
Ø AB crisis, right time to rethink the settlement of disagreements and disputes; serves as a deterrent to use the official litigation mechanism
Ø Rethink the role private stakeholders, in particular industries, can play in this for ensuring timely and cost-effective enforcement
