International Economic Law and the WTO

The Institute maintains an active research and events programme in international economic law; its involvement in this field goes back to the 1960s. In 2005 the programme was strengthened with the addition of the Fellow in International Economic Law, Dr Federico Ortino, who coordinated the Institute's activities in this field. Today's focus is on different aspects relating to the law of the World Trade Organization (WTO), which include trade negotiation, dispute settlement, development concerns. This programme builds on other research activities within the Institute such as the Competition Law Forum, the European Financial and Corporate Law Centre and the Investment Treaty Forum. Research staff involved in this area are:

  • Dr Philip Marsden
  • Dr Sergey Ripinsky
  • Jane Welch
