Freedom in international trade is one of the ultimate purposes of WTO. On the one hand, antidumping and countervailing measures are regarded as powerful weapons against unfair and discriminating international trade practice.  On the other hand, however, the abuse of antidumping and countervailing measures would destroy trade freedom and distort its spirit. This course is intended to guide students to thoroughly examine the texts of 1994 Antidumping Agreement, 1994 Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures, as well as to analyze relevant cases which provide detailed interpretations of these two Agreements. It teaches students to understand the genuine purposes of these two Agreements and to critically evaluate specific domestic antidumping and countervailing measures in selected jurisdictions such as the USA, the EU and China.
