International Economic Law, Business & Policy (IELBP) Colloquium

Past Offerings

International Economic Law, Business & Policy (IELBP) Colloquium (8003): This course enables IELBP advanced degree students to explore selected issues, case studies and policy debates in international economic law and business and global political economy in a highly interactive seminar. The course is a complement to the other core degree requirements of the LLM in IELBP and is discussion oriented. The course offers students the opportunity to engage in dialogue with their classmates as well as experts in the field (including practitioners, Stanford Law faculty and interdisciplinary scholars from other schools, departments, or programs at Stanford University). The course takes on a wide-ranging approach: we will examine legal issues confronting international trade and investment while also focusing on cutting-edge debates arising out of economic globalization; we will explore the complex architecture of international economic law, unpacking how international institutions and public international law sources (formal and informal) regulate: i) international economic relations between and among states, ii) cross-border economic conduct by states, international organizations, and private actors, and iii) cross-border business transactions between private parties. Students are expected to have carefully read assigned materials in advance of each session, and to actively participate during class. Grades for the colloquium are based on students' papers and their classroom performance (e.g., preparation, participation, attendance, etc.). The course extends over two quarters (fall and winter), and students are required to complete both quarters in order to satisfy the program requirement. Topics in the Fall quarter will focus on developments in world trade law, international investment law, economic integration and development, international taxation, international arbitration, trade negotiations and antitrust law among others. Topics in the Winter quarter will be selected based on students' interests, as well as pressing policy concerns in international commerce.
