WEEK 1. COURSES

1. CLIMATE CHANGE, JUSTICE AND COURTSIn recent years there has been a proliferation of legal challenges brought against states, corporate actors and transnational institutions for failing to meet domestic and international commitments to reduce human induced climate change. Courts all over the world are responding robustly, recognising the need to act and mandating specific responses. These cases have important symbolic value in the fight against climate change. As a result, they have been well-publicised, and the number of legal challenges across the globe has snowballed.

It is tempting to view these cases as victories that are the embodiment of climate justice. However, this betrays an overly simplistic reading of the cases. Through this course, students will be equipped to interrogate and think deeply about this new body of global climate change jurisprudence. The course is divided into three parts: an introduction to the nature of climate change as a ‘hot’ legal problem, an exploration of the concept of climate justice, and an analysis of the role that climate justice plays in the adjudication of the leading climate change cases.

WEEK 2. COURSES

1. CURRENT CHALLENGES IN TRADE AND INVESTMENT LAWThe proposed course focuses on current challenges in international trade and investment law. This course will pay particular attention to the trade and investment law challenges of the new global order that have emerged from the globalization backlash in the era of Brexit and Trump, the emancipation of big developing countries and the negotiation and conclusion of preferential trade agreements and especially the new ‘megaregional’ agreements. Apart from the need to critically rethink the vested notions in trade and investment law, the course will also cover other topical challenges that are changing our global trade and investment landscape, such as the emergence of global e-commerce and services trade, as well as issues regarding restrictive trade practices in natural resources and energy.

2. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE -FROM COMPARATIVE TO GLOBAL This course, which falls within the interests of the Business & Law research group, provides an understanding of selected legal features that underlie firms’ organization and business transactions. Although there may be singularities in features, rules and institutions that vary in each jurisdiction, the course looks at several legal systems as a way of grasping their commonalities and stressing how functional and economic reasons inspire the configuration and functioning of most of them.

During the course, we will search for the functional motivation and the justification of institutions and rules. An interdisciplinary approach will be followed in trying to ascertain the reasons for the institutions being how they are. In addition, the related private international law issues will be discussed.
