Law and U.S.-China Economic Relations - Fall 2016

Professor Mark Wu

This course will examine a series of topics that have been the source of tension between the two largest economies in the world, the United States and China, when it comes to their bilateral economic relationship. Topics will include the regulation of foreign investment, the protection of intellectual property rights, the imposition of antidumping and countervailing duties, and cyberespionage. The course will examine the different policy options available to each side and the role to be played by domestic and international law in mitigating /resolving these tensions. Students are expected to write regular discussion papers for class and a policy memo or research paper.
