Course Description
This course introduces students to Law and Development, a discipline combining legal and economic analysis to understand what brings development about. It deals with topics such as third world economic nationalism, human rights and “rule of law” reforms, the proper role of government intervention in the economy, trade and monetary policies, and the relation between inequality and development. The course is divided into four parts, dealing with the dominant development approach in four periods: (I) the interventionist and nationalist policies of 1945-1980; (II) the free-market Washington Consensus that took over in the 1980s; (III) the center-left Post-Washington Consensus of the 1990s that grew out of critiques of austerity programs; and (IV) the return of interventionism and nationalism in the 2000s and 2010s, in the wake of the rise of China and other East Asian countries. Each period uncovers the legal ideas that lie behind dominant economic approaches.

Course Description
This course provides students with an understanding of the logistics and substance of public international law, that is, the law that applies to how states relate to other states and some non-state actors in global politics. It asks what laws exist in the global political arena and how those laws affect the structure, content, and outcomes of global political, social, and economic interactions. As such, the course explores both what international law is (how it comes to be, and when and how it matters), as well as various places in which international law might matter in the international arena (both in terms of the structure of the international arena and issues that arise in contemporary international relations).
