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.
