Economic International Law

This module introduces the origins, evolution and impact of international economic
law—that is, the regulation by states and international organisations of
international economic activity, such as the movement of goods, services, capital and
people.
It takes a critical sociolegal approach to the field in the sense that it considers
economic, social, political and cultural dimensions; and emphasises the existence of
multiples perspectives, in particular of individuals and organisations; in the public,
private, and third sectors; in relatively poor and relatively rich economic contexts; in
times of calm and of crisis; and on local, national, regional and global levels.
