This Reading Group aims to address current issues pertaining to international economic law (especially in trade and investment law).
Through a selection of pieces of scholarship, it will be an opportunity to demonstrate that international economic law is not a phenomenon happening in a vacuum.
Indeed, trade as well as investment law interact with other substantive areas of law (such as human rights). Plus, it has been equally proven that it could benefit from the insights of other disciplines (such as sociology - economics). In turn, accounting for those is particularly useful given the current claims for reform resulting from rising criticisms against international economic law.
This Reading Group will thus be a forum for energetic discussion on the interplay between international economic law and other fields - legal or not - both in their substantive and methodological aspects.
The purported themes to be addressed by the Reading Group are as follows:
- Human Rights and Trade and Investment.
- Sociology and Trade and Investment.
- Political Economy and Trade and Investment.
- Trade and Investment Law Reform
