Canada and the International Trading System: Refocusing the Agenda

Next Course Dates:


March 4-5, 2010 

This course is now full. The next courses will be scheduled in Fall/Winter 2010, and Spring 2011. Please check out our summer 2010 program for more training opportunities, or contact Kevin Arthur to organize an exclusive training course for your organisation.

An intensive two-day workshop, this course will provide one-on-one interaction with two of Canada's leading trade policy practitioners. The program will cover:

  • Essential Mechanics of the International Trading System
  • World Trade Organization Doha Round of Negotiations
  • Canada-US Trade Issues

This course will help government officials who are relatively new to trade to put the complex web of issues facing Canada into context. For those with more experience, this is an ideal opportunity to get beyond the basics and gain important insight into how your organization's interests fit into the bigger picture. Based on several years' experience providing trade policy training to federal government departments in Canada and around the world, this course distills key issues and approaches into an intensive two-day session. Because of the small class size, participants will have a greater opportunity to explore their interests and concerns through direct dialogue with trade policy experts.
