EU External Trade (MA level)
Target audience: Law, European
Studies, Global Studies
Thought at Department of Law, Aarhus
University, Denmark and Haifa University,
Israel
EU External Trade is an advanced course
offering a comprehensive understanding of
core political/legal elements of EU External
trade, which includes formal agreements,
such as EU-bilateral trade Agreements, its
Generalized System of Preferences (GSP),
and the WTO; and informal trade relations
with for example the US and China.
A core element of the course is the EU´s
position in the WTO. With the establishment
of the WTO in 1995 the structure of
international trade has changed. The number
of agreements and the scope of regulation
were expanded so that the WTO of today is
now regulating not only trade in goods but
also trade in services, investments and
certain aspects of international property
rights. In this process, the EU has played a
significant role. But in the same time, the
establishment of the WTO has also changed
the institutional setting for the regulation of
international trade, including EU external
trade.
AIM OF THE COURSE:
The aim of this interdisciplinary course is to
give the students the knowledge and
understanding of the political/legal aspects
of the EU external trade, the WTO, how WTO
law and EU law interact, the relevant case
law before the WTO´s Dispute settlement
body and the European Court, and how the
EU uses its power to shape the international
trade rules and how it uses the WTO to
achieve its goals.
MAIN TOPICS OF THE COURSE:
The course will cover the following topics:
• The core elements and instruments of EU
external trade
• the structure of the WTO and its Dispute
Settlement Body
• the relationship between WTO law and the
EU law
• tariffs on goods and the most favored
nation principle
• discrimination of goods and other
restrictions
• subsidies, countervailing duties and public
procurement
• anti-dumping laws
• trade in services (GATS)
• trade-related intellectual property rights
(TRIPs)
• EU regional and free trade agreements with
third countries

Global Justice and Law (MA level)
Target audience: Law, Political
Science, International Relations,
European Studies, Global Studies
Thought at Department of Humanities,
Aarhus University Denmark
A violation of the law in one particular place
in the world is a violation of the law for
everyone in the world. This was observed by
the German philosopher Kant over 200 years
ago - but global justice is still a long way off.
Some states have been relatively successful
in creating justice within their own borders -
in the form of both a formal constitutional
state and social justice. However, many
states have, for one reason or another, been
unable to establish normal forms of justice,
just as the apparatus for the establishment of
a global constitutional state, or social justice
on a global scale, does not exist. The course
in Global Justice and Law looks into the most
recent steps taken in relation to
international law, international
responsibility for atrocities, and how we
perceive current situations in relation to
ideas and theories relating to Global Justice
and Law.
