To see how global links in trade and investment have made policymakers less able to focus solely on domestic issues. To understand the challenges of international trade institutions. To gain broad perspective on conflicts between emerging and industrialized nations. To examine policy responses to changing conditions, including import and export restrictions. To examine the positive and negative impacts of foreign direct investments on both the host nation and the home nation. To understand the purpose of investment policies, including investment restrictions and promotion.
