背景信息
LDCs in general and low-income sub-Saharan African countries in particular have not been able to benefit from the growth of international trade and globalisation during the last decades. While most other developing countries have been growing and reducing poverty, the LDCs and the sub-Saharan African low-income countries have been left outside this process. One explanation for the poor results among these countries is an overall lack of knowledge of the functioning of the international trade system and the possibilities for LDCs to improve trading conditions through the development of proper trade policies and to negotiate better conditions for themselves in the multilateral and regional trade agreements.
With the purpose to broaden and deepen the understanding in LDCs of the importance of trade and trade policy for development , this course addresses media professionals and other officials and professionals concerned with trade issues both in developing and developed countries .
学习目标
At the end of the course, the participants should be able to:
- Identify and understand basic determinants of trade and trade policy .
- Analyse the economic implications for developing countries of different forms of trade regulation.
- Understand and interpret the legal framework that regulates international trade.
