Abstract

International Trade, Global Finance and Sustainable Development is a compulsory Research Seminar to be taught in English. A good command of legal English is required. The research seminar is expected to cover such aspects as the early development of international law as the regime of choice for international traders and explorers to the current questions of global economic (trade, investment, and finance) law and regulation, and the global financial crisis. It will examine world trade, foreign direct investment, economic rights, and financial regulation against the background of so-called ‘sustainable’ development. The challenge of this course will be to analyze the interface between the role of law in the global political economy and governance from different perspectives: historical, current, the institutional, individual, the developed/developing world divide, etc. We will be examining policy and economic trends and learn to recognize points of friction with law and areas for improvement. Attention will be paid to public and private law regimes as well as trends in global governance and regulation, including protection of natural resources through unilateral trade-based measures; the legality of multilateral environmental agreements employing trade measures; utilization of science-based trade tests; environmental impacts of foreign investment liberalization, etc. Please follow the Coursera programme: I.
