Today’s @ielbp LL.M. colloquium is about #trade. And we’ll be hosting Prof. David Gantz to discuss the main features of #USMCA—a.k.a. the “New NAFTA”—and other hot topics in international trade. Tweet us the questions you would like to ask Prof. Gantz and we’ll ask them for you!
Deadline to apply to be a @StanfordLaw@IELBP Teaching Fellow is March 15, 2020. Apply for 2(+1) years working in a top institution and the best in IEL Alan Sykes, with stellar faculty, students, and fellows, and live in Palo Alto with time to develop thoughtful scholarship.
Then, we'll consider the economic and political rationales for trade multilateralism! We'll also look into other current developments, including the CPTPP and USMCA, the workings of the WTO and its dispute settlement mechanism, and the US-China trade war.
Today Alan Sykes and Judith Goldstein are speaking to the @ielbp students on #trade. We're starting with history (@loyaladvisor) of the multilateral trade system, exploring the differences between the GATT and the WTO (how the GATT was not, and never meant to be, an organization)
Plus we'll consider politics of U.S. trade policy. Is Trump the first elected leader to propose an America First trade policy? Why is there little emphasis on helping the "losers" from U.S. trade policy? Why is the U.S. invoking national security to take unilateral trade actions?
This Tuesday October 15, Profs. Sykes and Goldstein will speak to our IELBP LLMs about the past, present, and future of international trade. A great chance to talk about the economic and politics behind U.S. policies, and the recent challenges to the multilateral trade system!

Under threat of #Section232 car tariffs, @japan gives US what US would have had under #TPP. Same thing Canada offered last fall to cinch @USMCACoalition. Amazing US goes to brink of trade war to get what @realDonaldTrump took away.
