The financial crisis for the last few years reveals the new reality of international economic order. It has become clear that the capability of the traditional developed countries has fallen short of maintaining the international economic order. Maximization of national interests through trade results in unlimited competition. Each country utilizes currency wars and FTAs as major policy tools for economic war. It is time to make it clear whether it is protectionism or liberalism, and to discuss a fair trade order of common interest.
- International financial crisis and macro economic imbalance: ?
- Protectionist temptation and the future of international trade order.
- Doha Round and the future of the WTO System.
- The fear of currency wars imaginary or real?
- Liberal economic order in crisis: its nature and alternatives.

지난 수년간 세계가 직면했던 금융위기는 국제경제질서의 새로운 현실을 보여주었습니다. 기존 선진국들의 능력만으로는 세계경제를 유지할 수 없다는 것이 판명되었습니다. 특히 각국이 무역을 통한 경제적인 이익을 극대화하기 위한 노력은 새로운 무한 경쟁을 야기하였습니다. 각국은 이제 통화전쟁, 자유무역협정 등을 경제전쟁의 주요한 수단으로 이용하기 시작하였습니다. 이것이 보호무역주의인지 진정한 자유무역주의인지에 대한 평가를 해야 할 시점입니다. 아울러 모든 나라에 이익이 되는 국제 무역질서가 무엇인지에 대해 논의합니다.
- 세계금융위기와 거시경제적 불균형, 그 함의는?
- 보호주의에 대한 유혹과 국제무역질서의 미래는?
- 도하 라운드 협상과 WTO 체제의 미래는?
- 통화 전쟁, 단순한 기우인가 현실인가?
- 도전 받는 자유주의 경제 질서, 그 성격과 대처 방안은?
