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; risk and uncertainty; dispute settlement and enforcement, and leveling the playing field. The course is open to diploma students, IREWI students, Erasmus and other exchange students.

Assessment and permitted materials

Students may not miss more than 2 classes over the course of the semester. Grades are based on class participation and 2 response papers.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

• Class Participation: 40%.
Seminars will be interactive. Students are expected to discuss assigned readings during class. Class participation counts for 40 percent of the final grade.

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 words long and need to be uploaded via Moodle 48 hours prior to the relevant seminar. They need to include the students’s name, email address and word count.
