LAW 729 - Law & Globalization

Institution:

Duke University

Subject:

Law

Description:

What do they mean by globalization? Is it different from internationalization? Is the relation between globalization and law more than just a rising importance of traditional international law? This seminar seeks answers to these questions. Developing a concept of globalization, we will try and understand how globalization and the law interact in different areas: public international law and international relations (including human rights), adjudication (issues of judicial jurisdiction and of court-to-court interaction), the rise of non-state law (soft law, business standards, Islamic law, new law merchant), the internet (internet defamation and free speech restrictions, e-commerce and e-trade), economic regulation (antitrust, securities regulations). In all these areas, we try to understand how globalization shapes the law, and how the law in turn shapes, and creates, globalization.
