Professor Markus Wagner published a paper in the American Society of International Law’s Insights on a World Trade Organization(WTO) case between the European Union, Japan and the United States against the China concerning export limitations imposed by the Chinese government. Titled “WTO Law and the Right to Regulate: China – Rare Earths,” the paper tracks the logic of the WTO panel decision which found that the Chinese measures were illegal under WTO law. The decision raises important issues of international governance under the umbrella of WTO law, especially as it pertains to those countries that recently joined the WTO. Professor Wagner teaches and writes in the areas of international law, constitutional law and comparative law. His recent scholarship has focused on the intersection of trade and investment law and the development of autonomous weaponry and its compatibility with international humanitarian law.
