Offered by the Clayton Yeutter Institute of International Trade and Finance, this course will cover the foundational elements necessary for understanding and analyzing modern-day trade policymaking, including the origins and evolution of the modern international trading system, U.S. domestic policy processes, the interaction between business goals and government policy, and the interplay between trade policy and overall U.S. foreign policy objectives. Students will have the opportunity to actively discuss course content in the classroom, participate in a mock Congressional hearing on trade policy, and refine their writing skills as they learn how to write a clear, concise memorandum on a trade policy topic.
