Overview
Transnational Governance, International Law, and Global Capitalism at University of Warwick is dedicated to intricacies of international economic law including trade and the WTO, investment, and labour while the final one will target normative aspects including the place of justice, fairness, and equality in the global economy.
Key facts:
International economic law has entered the mainstream. Politicians debate the intricacies of free trade agreements, newspapers run stories about investor protection mechanisms, and popular movements use collective action to undermine intellectual property provisions.
Yet, despite breaking into the mainstream, popular knowledge on the subject remains sparse at best. This is due in large part to the representation of international economic law in both political rhetoric and popular media: much is said about the technical aspects of the field and emphasis placed on our collective preoccupation with economic growth. Economic considerations, however, cannot be separated from social functions that go beyond the production and exchange of goods. Developing a deeper understanding of the socio-legal character of international economic law will provide students with greater awareness of the political capacities and opportunities available to citizens.
Programme Structure
- This course engages students in critical discussion about the nature and goals of transnational governance, about its associated regulatory framework (international law) and its economic model (global capitalism). Our aim is to better understand the costs, benefits, and prospects of the current order as we work our way to the next era of human evolution.
