Module description
This module will examine real world International Policy issues, within a coherent theoretical framework.

The initiative for Policy Dialogue (IPD) centres on this debate.
This module will relate the theory of International Economics to recent world events, to draw out the application of the theory and allow debate on policy implications
The module will emphasise the integrated nature of Trade Thoery and Policy. It will equip participants to think conceptually and gain a real world understanding of trade issues.
