Lab Introduction
After Taiwan became a WTO Member on January 1, 2002, NTU College of Law recognized the importance of WTO law studies and established the WTO Research Center in 2003. In 2005, the WTO Research Center was transformed into the Asian Center for WTO & International Health Law and Policy (“ACWH”) to reflect its broader research scope. ACWH’s research focus currently covers three major fields: international economic laws (including WTO laws, regional trade agreements, and international investment laws), international health laws (including the WHO’s International Health Regulations and Framework Convention on Tobacco Control), and international arbitration laws (including commercial and investment arbitrations).
ACWH’s major activities include preparing legal documents and opinions in the fields of international economic laws and international health laws, regularly hosting academic conferences on international economic laws, health laws, and/or arbitration laws, publishing two semiannual international academic journals, i.e., the Asian Journal of WTO & Int’l Health Law and Policy (AJWH, an SSCI-indexed journal) and the Contemporary Asia Arbitration Journal (CAAJ, an ESCI-indexed journal), advising government agencies on issues related to international economic, health, and/or arbitration laws.
