This simulator teaches and trains negotiation, critical analytical skills and techniques within the context of European Union trade policy in the global arena. Unveiling the complex and manifold role of the European Commission, which oversees the implementation of the common trade policy of the European Union, the simulation aims to familiarise participants with a broad overview of European trade issues including existing and emerging policy instruments. European trade is a uniquely dynamic policy due to the fact that it is inextricably linked to geopolitical considerations. What are some of the potential geopolitical effects of European trade policy? How does trade alter international dynamics? What are some of the most important current challenges for European trade policy? All these questions and more are explored in this simulation.
