(ii) International trade institutions, with particular focus on the World Trade Organization

Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
- Knowledge and understanding: knowledge of the operating mechanisms underlying international commercial contracts, with particular reference to sale and distribution contracts; study of role and powers of international organizations dealing with international trade, such as the World Trade Organization. The verification of this knowledge will take place with the analysis of "real" contracts widespread in international practice and with the reading of the statutes relating to international organizations, as well as with the final exam;
- Applying knowledge and understanding: application in the "practice" of principles governing international contracts; interpretation of the effective role of international organizations in international trade. The verification of such knowledge will take place with the preparation of clauses applicable in practice to international contracts and with classroom discussions relating to the operativeness of international institutions, as well as intermediate tests during the lessons;
- Making judgments: learning of the possible links between the various legal institutions and international commercial practice; autonomy in the preparation of an autonomous judgment on the clauses of international contracts and on the effectiveness of the role of international institutions. This result must be acquired by reading papers and contractual documents, and by showing in class what has been learnt;
- Communicative skills: need to acquire legal communication and to learn the most common legal terms in international trade. This result must be acquired through classroom conversations and brain storming between students and teacher.
- Learning skills: knowledge of the learning methodology in the field of international contracts, with particular focus on the need to be able to analyze contractual standards present in practice in a short timeframe. This result must be acquired with the intermediate tests and with classroom brain storming.
