The aim of the module is to provide you with a thorough understanding of EU trade law. You will be introduced to a variety of different EU policy fields that are part of the EU’s external trade relationships and the legal constitutional foundations of the EU’s external trade policy. The module EU Trade Law will be taught by a law-in-context approach. You will discuss issues relating to European trade law predominantly from a European legal perspective but you will also get accustomed to some of its practical implications and recent developments in order to develop a critical understanding of the EU as an international economic actor.

 

The combination of theoretical approaches with a discussion of recent EU trade law developments and their practical implications will be of particular interest to you if you intend to advice foreign ministries in trade related matters, if you are interested in a commercial legal career or if you are interested in the European Union as an international actor more generally.
