Course Description:

This seminar will examine the broad variety of dilemmas of law and policy relating to the participation of developing countries in a globalized legal and economic system. The emphasis will be on understanding and critiquing the domestic and transnational legal environments that impact upon the contemporary goals of poverty reduction and development. The course will first survey historical, empirical and theoretical dimensions of the development problem on a broad intellectual base, focusing on economic and rights-based approaches to development. It will then discuss international trade and its legal regulation in the development context, with a special focus on the Doha Development Round of negotiations in the World Trade Organization (WTO). It will consider the controversial role of International Financial Institutions (IFIs), development aid and its legal framework, the concept of sustainable development, and the responsibilities of private actors in their activities in developing countries.
