課程簡介Course Description

This is a compulsory course for graduate students of the Department of International Business who have major in the International Trade Law. It has four different course numbers: (I), (II), (III) and (IV). However, it is not required to take them in a sequential order. Nevertheless, for graduate students enrolled after 2009, it is required to take at least three of them before applying for oral defense of their master thesis.  

This course is to develop students’ ability of independent research on the most current issues of international trade law. The topics for research and writing exercises will be determined weekly, based on the most current trade and economic issues selected by the students and approved by the instructor. All research papers are required to have publishable-quality, and after the instructor’s review, to be published on the bi-weekly Trade Law E-Newsletter of the Research Center for International Organization and Trade Law.

    課程目標與學習成效Course Objectives & Learning Outcomes

    The course has its focus on independent research. The intensive research and writing exercises are designed to facilitate students to start their search for thesis topics as early as possible, and on the other hand, improve their research and writing ability. Both ways contribute to the quality of their thesis. Because the students are required to submit a research topic on current issues to the instructor for approval weekly, it also helps students to make a habit of continuously exploring issues of international trade law and build up the capacity to complete a research in a timely manner under time pressure.

     

    Learning Outcomes

    1. Learning to apply multilateral trade rules to current international trade issues.
    2. Mastering the interpretation of WTO rules
    3. Analyzing new WTO dispute settlement cases by applying its jurisprudence.
    4. Learning RTAs issues
    5. Following emerging economic and trade issues, such as climate change, WTO reform, national security, Covid-19 related trade issues, etc.

      2. Each student is required to submit to the instructor and the whole class a draft paper based on the research it has done for the approved topic before the prescribed deadline. Failing to comply with this requirement, 20 points will also be deducted from the score of the particular work. Besides, the submission of the draft is limited to ONCE, so each student is required to carefully proofread the draft paper. Any submission after the first one will be ignored. (未於期限內繳初稿，該篇作品扣20分；初稿僅得繳一次，初稿表現以第一次繳交者為準)
      3. Each student is required to present the above paper professionally with power point slides in class. Each presentation is limited to 40 minutes, including the time for comments made by the instructor and peers of the class.

    Note: each presented paper should meet the following requirements:

    1. analysis and argument,

    2. organization and structure - logic and coherence,

    3. writing - clarity and fluency,

    4. footnotes - accuracy and correct format.

      1. After presentation, the presenting student is required to revise the paper properly based on in-class discussion and the instructor’s comments and submit the final work before the prescribed deadline. Failing this deadline, 20 points will be deducted from the particular work.

      3. During the time after submission of the final work and before publication, the author student should be reachable all the time so that the editor-in-charge can consult timely and requests revision if necessary.
      4. In any event, as long as the paper is deemed by the instructor or reported by editor-in-charge to the instructor as lack of publishable quality and therefore missing the scheduled publishing date, 30 points will be deducted automatically. （欠缺發刊品質以致誤了預定發刊期別，該篇作品扣30分）
    2. Grading Standards

    The grade has two components:

    1. The ability of identifying feasible topics
    2. The quality of the research
    3. The quality of the paper presented, including the presentation performance
    4. The effectiveness of revision

    Each grade has to be deducted the relevant points accordingly if there is any deadlines missed as listed above. 

    (2)  Grading of class participation (10%):

    The evaluation is based the frequency and the substance of comments given to the others’ presentation. If there is no comment or question ever given at all in the whole semester, the grade of this part will be zero. (上課時未對其他同學作品發表意見者，此部分評分以零分計)
