Description

Globalisation has reshaped our world but with a mixed track record. Many nations have prospered. Others have suffered. Some have prospered by ignoring the 'official rules' and making up their own. The consequences of poor governance of globalisation can be seen in East Asia's 1997 crisis, in Argentina's economic collapse, in the ongoing crisis in the WTO Doha Round, and in the failure of the Multilateral Agreement on Investment. This course is a study of how globalisation effects the sources of law that domestic legal systems draw upon, of how globalisation is governed and not governed, and of how this governance could be improved.
