國際經貿法此一學門包含公法與私法兩大領域，本課程將針對此兩大領域進行基本觀念的介紹，並以專題與個案研習的方式帶領及訓練同學分析有關國際經貿法實務運作下之重要議題。
就公法的領域（第一到十二週），台灣於2002年正式成為WTO的會員，因此，涉及WTO規範的我國相關法規，均必須遵守WTO的規定。WTO以貿易自由化為最核心之組織宗旨，涵蓋了包括貨品貿易、服務業貿易、智慧財產權等議題，針對該些議題均訂有會員必須遵守的基本法律原則，此外，WTO也提供一談判的場域，供會員協商、談判、修訂上述議題的管制內容，而涉及該些議題所引發之會員政府間的貿易爭端案件，也必須依照WTO下有關爭端解決之規範。故，本課程將主要以WTO法的範圍以及重要法律原則為主要的學習內容，搭配實際所發生之爭端案例，協助同學針對WTO法制與運作有基本的認識。
就私法的領域（第十三到十八週），主要課程內容乃在幫助同學瞭解國際商務中有關法規環境和運作規範，並培養管理法律風險的能力；特別是在面對國際企業經營過程中勢將遭逢法律衝突所衍生相關問題時，能具備分析問題、尋求解決方案的能力，俾使企業經營之風險及成本降至最低。
能力項目說明
International trade law covers both public law and private law. This course intends to give an overview to the most fundamental concepts of both these two legal dimensions through case studies. For public law, the course will introduce the fundamental international trade rules that are regulated under the World Trade Organization, including how these rules are applied and interpreted in the WTO dispute settlement cases. These international trade rules are crucial to Taiwan after Taiwan became a WTO Member in 2002. For private law, the course will give an overview to the legal environment and operational regulations concerning international business transaction, so that the students can be equipped with the ability to manage legal risks facing multinational enterprises.
