Summary
Our LLM International Economic Law, Justice and Development provides you with the skills and knowledge to answer some of the following questions:
-
How do the institutions of international economic law (the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organization) shape the international development project?
-
Are these institutions more important than the United Nations in shaping relations between states at the international level?
-
What legal mechanisms exist to constrain the exercise of economic power?
-
What role does international economic law have in preventing or mitigating economic, environmental and health crises?
-
How can we build critical, alternative understandings of economic organisation?
The LLM International Economic Law, Justice and Development allows you to focus on understanding the mutual relationship between the global distribution of economic power and the legal framework of international economic law, and the legal, political and social consequences of this relationship.
