Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course offers an integrated treatment of international economic law (trade, investment and finance) and the governance of the global economy.

After a historical introduction to global economic integration and its challenges, we cover the making of international economic law; market access; non-discrimination; leveling the playing field; risk and uncertainty; dispute settlement and enforcement.

Assessment and permitted materials

• Class Participation: 40%.

Seminars will be interactive. Participants are expected to discuss assigned readings during class. Class participation counts for 40 percent of the final grade.

• 2 Reflection Papers: 60%
To stimulate discussion, participants will write two response papers related to two seminars of their choice over the course of the semester. A response paper can consist of any or all of critique, summary, elaboration, expressions of disagreement or puzzlement, suggestions for further inquiry, and so on – as long as it is directed to the readings for the seminar concerned.

Response papers should be 1000-1200 words long and need to be uploaded via Moodle 48 hours prior to the relevant seminar. They need to include the participant’s name, email address and word count.
