As a result of the controversial questions surrounding the future of global trade, including trade fragmentation, trade wars and UK membership in the European Union, which has given rise to intense international law and governance debates in a number of fora, Institution Quraysh for law & Policy (iQ) Council on Trade and Diplomacy has partnered with several organizations to set up an independent forum for academics and practitioners to debate and define the positive role of international trade relations.
The effort aims to provide a comprehensive and ongoing understanding of trade and diplomacy in international governance, law and policy, practices and foreign relations. A framework of international, national and sub-national law governs state relations in trade and investment and is a fundamental factor in determining whether, when and how states and economies can benefit from those relationships, capital flows and supply chains.
The inaugural event, The China Forum on Global Trade and Investment Law has sought to convene a China specialized educational, research and training programs through harnessing expertise in the academe and partnerships worldwide. Through such new partnerships, participants will explore and define broader emerging ideas and the most recent developments, at a critical time for international trade. The China Forum focuses on international law academics, practitioners, and graduate students. It is also meant to give authors and researchers opportunities to share their research and latest publications.
