The Center for Global Trade & Development

The Center for Global Trade & Development is dedicated to interdisciplinary research and programs on a wide range of issues related to globalization, including international trade in goods, services, and investment capital; the movement of people, technology and ideas across borders; and the many implications for economic and social development around the world. Under the direction of Professor John Hall, the Center provides a forum for discussion that draws upon the expertise of faculty members from the Chapman University School of Law and various other Chapman University schools and departments, including scholars in international law, business, economics, history, political science, and sociology. The Center sponsors an annual symposium and a Student Essay Writing Competition.

Chapman University is located in Southern California, in the heart of an increasingly diverse Orange County near the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, together the largest seaport in the United States and largest gateway for trade with Asia, the Pacific Rim and Latin America.
