Course Content

International economic law is, on the one hand, a history of struggle both of individual actors competing in the marketplace of ideas for the best possible system of regulation and of industrialised and developing states entering the race towards their own share of global prosperity. While the critique of international economic law often revolves around its failures or inequalities in this story, there is also a narrative to be told of success in facilitating development and protecting both corporations and populations from abuse and exploitation. The course provides an overview and introduction into the regulation of three aspects of international economic relations: trade, investment, and finance. Thereby, it will contrast the evolution of the various features of each system with their current challenges. Starting out from the multilateral milestones achieved in international economic law, in-class discussions will address potentials for overcoming current stalemates and aberrations. The course will particularly focus on working with original material such as political proclamations, treaties, and case law.
