Faculty Speaker Series - “The Customer is Always Wrong: The Airbus 220 and U.S. Trade Law” with Robert Letovsky

Faculty Speaker Series - “The Customer is Always Wrong: The Airbus 220 and U.S. Trade Law” with Robert Letovsky

“The Customer is Always Wrong: The Airbus 220 and U.S. Trade Law” Group Case Discussion with Robert Letovsky on Wednesday, January 13 from 7-8 p.m.
Letovsky will moderate a discussion among participating alums on the questions found at the end of his newest case study publication. The case focuses on the events leading up to the January, 2018 ruling by the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) overturning anti-dumping and countervailing duties imposed by the U.S. Department of Commerce (DoC) on imports of the CSeries commercial jet, produced by Bombardier, Inc., a Canadian company.   The decision—and the imposition of the initial duties by the U.S. DoC—fundamentally reshaped the global aerospace industry. The focus of the case is to identify the range of stakeholders involved in the entire situation and to evaluate the full impacts of the ITC ruling, both as it turned out in practice and in the event that the Commission had reaffirmed the tariffs originally imposed on the CSeries.  The case study will be purchased for you from Georgetown University Institute for the Study of Diplomacy and emailed to you within 48 hours of your registration. RSVP to attend.
