Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course introduces selected topics and legal regimes in the history of business and economic law and attempts to approach the subject with a global perspective. The course will focus on the impact of the emergence of a capitalist mode of production on law and will explore how different historical actors have responded to similar problematic situations. Special attention will be given to the international legal framework of global phenomena such as colonialism and industrialization.
The course is divided into lecture, interactive "guided reading" and discussions. The aim is for participants to become familiar with some of the basic concepts and approaches of modern business and economic law history.
