| Main themes |
This course consists of an introduction to the specific rules of international economics and international trade: trade (international bodies such as GATT; trade between developed countries; trade between western and eastern countries, etc.), money and finance (IMF, World Bank, etc.), international economic agents (states, transnational companies); investment; analysis of trade relations; international contracts; international disputes. If requested by the Faculty and the Department for economic and social law, the method can be either lecturing or an analysis of cases. The choice of a method is made for a three-year period.
|
| Aims |
The course's goal is twofold. The first goal is to show that law and economics share intertwined concerns. Some elements of Law & Economics are developed from this viewpoint. The second goal is to encourage students to have a critical and well-argued vision of the economic, political, and social movements of globalization and of the norms which convey their meaning.
To be constructive, this critique should be supported by a rigorous command of the technical rules of substantive law stated in the Agreements establishing the World Trade Organization (WTO).
