UBC Faculty of Law will be hosting Ljiljana Biukovic, UBC law professor and Co-Director of the National Centre for Business Law at an event on June 21, 2012, from 5:30-7:00 at UBC Robson Square, where she will be speaking on “Legal Geography of Trade and Investment Agreements – New Practices”:

“The July 2011 World Trade Report published by the World Trade Organization (WTO) reveals two important trends in the development of the landscape of international trade negotiations: the first is the continuing increase in the number of signed preferential trade agreements (PTAs), and the second is that these PTAs are becoming broader in scope and deeper in regulatory detail. The Report finds that there are about 300 currently active PTAs and that Canada has a modest contribution to these trends on trade negotiations. This research maps the impact of bilateral and regional trade and investment arrangements on the multilateral world trading system, analyzes the legal and practical differences between and among different models of economic integration, and attempts to define Canada’s position in this new geography of international law.”
