This course
introduces students to the global economy and emphasizes the significance and
implications of government policies for trade in various commodities.
Specifically, students will learn
about various trade theories and develop an
intuitive understanding of the theoretical foundations of the economics of
international agricultural trade.
Furthermore,
the course would familiarize students with current issues and methods
used in the analysis of international agricultural trade.
Traditional lectures and Problem-based Learning (PBL)
techniques and tools will be used in communicating important concepts and ideas
in this course. The PBL section of the course will focus on the impact of agricultural
trade policy on environmental policy and practice in developed and developing
countries. The PBL sessions will include group-based activities such as
problem solving, role-playing, debates, discussions, writing assignments,
and in-class presentations.
