'This track is dedicated to international economic law, the international legal rules of conduct that govern the economic relations for states and regions. Our graduates work for states, international or regional organizations or law firms dealing with international trade or investment law. The nature of the study lends itself to connections with international economics and politics.'

'The curriculum treats a number of subject areas. In the multilateral sphere, the World Trade Organization with its evolved dispute settlement system is a core topic. The WTO handles trade disputes concerning trade defence (anti-dumping and safeguards), food safety measures and intellectual property enforcement, for examples. On the regional level there are an increasing number of trading systems with their own dispute mechanisms, like the Mercosur, the NAFTA, and of course the European Union.'

'International investment law is a growing subject area in the curriculum. Here we examine the treaty frameworks that govern international investments and the disputes that arise between investors and states.'
