This Masterclass aims to equip participants with a deeper understanding of the global trading system and its relationship with development, sustainability, and regulation. Participants will explore how trade policy is shaped, how it affects business and development priorities, and how to navigate trade-related risks and opportunities in today’s volatile global environment.  This Masterclass is designed to attain these goals: 

• To improve understanding of the uncertainty and risks inherent in trade and business activities in any economy and particularly in the global economy. 
• To familiarise participants with the World Trade Organization, what it does and how it works, and why it is under attack. 
• To understand the importance of regulation in creating markets or changing the way in which they operate. To deepen participant understanding of the problems of delivering development and sustainability through an open trading system.
