Some of the most complex problems in global politics exist at the nexus between international trade, development and environment.
While globalisation has made countries ever more interdependent, the capacity of the international system to deal with global challenges remains limited. A wide range of global problems still awaits effective international solutions – from the depletion of natural resources and global climate change to the creation of an effective and fair trading system and the promotion of economic development.
This course examines the global politics of trade, development and the environment, against the background of continued economic globalisation and the emergence of new forms of global governance.
