LAWS 5200 F / INAF5507 Fall 2003 INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC LAW: REGULATION OF TRADE AND INVESTMENT Wednesday 11:30-14:30 - LA B454 (Loeb Bldg) Instructor: Office Hours: P. J. Davidson Wednesday 2:30-5:00 Professor or by appointment Department of Law D590 Loeb paul_davidson@carleton.ca 520-2600 x. 8062 OBJECT OF THE COURSE The rules which comprise international economic law form the legal framework at an international level for the regulation of international trade and investment. This seminar will examine the role played by international law and specifically by international economic law in regulating international economic activity. It will examine the development and elements of the international legal framework for regulating trade and investment. The role of law in society and the nature, origins and basis of international law and its relationship to national law will be examined before continuing with a study of the nature, sources and operation of international economic law. The course will concentrate on the World Trade Organisation legal framework and a study will be made of select aspects of the regulation of international economic activity, including the main international obligations, contingency protection, bilateral and plurilateral agreements, and regional integration, as well as an examination of the development of the expansion of international regulation of economic activity under the World Trade Organization (WTO). In addition, an examination of developing countries in international economic law and an examination of some of the elements of the regulation of international investment will be made. Various dispute settlement mechanisms for different international economic disputes will be discussed. A fundamental theme of this seminar will be assessing the role of law in regulating international economic transactions. In particular, the course will focus on policy and legal issues that are becoming increasingly important in the current world trading system. COURSE MATERIALS 1.

Useful sources include, inter alia, the business section of newspapers, The Economist, and the World Trade Review (electronic resource, available in the library). FORMAT OF COURSE The course will follow a seminar format and students will be expected to have read the assigned readings and be prepared to discuss and analyse the materials during the seminar. Time for presentation of research for the research paper in the course (see below) will be allowed for in the latter part of the course. This will provide an opportunity for questions and suggestions from other students which may be incorporated in the final paper. Each week, starting October 1st, a student or panel of students will be required to do additional preparation in order to complement the readings and stimulate discussion of that week's topic(s). Each student will be expected to give a short introduction to her/his topic and be prepared to initiate discussion and field questions from other students (and myself) on the topic. In preparation for the seminar, each student will prepare a short discussion paper (no longer than 5 pages plus bibliography) summarising the major elements of his/her presentation and indicating additional sources of information. Papers must be typed, double-spaced on 8&1/2x11 paper, be properly foot-noted and contain a bibliography in proper form. One copy of the discussion paper must be placed in the Resource Centre one week preceding the presentation for consultation by other members of the class; one copy is to be handed in for marking. Topics for these presentations must be chosen in consultation with me during the first two weeks of classes. In addition, each student will be required to prepare an in-depth research paper (approximately 6000-6500 words) dealing with an issue arising from the subject matter covered by the course. Specific topics for the papers must be chosen in consultation with me by no later than the class of October 8th. Students must prepare, and hand in by that time, a one page statement on their research paper, including a preliminary bibliography. Papers must be typed, double-spaced on 8&1/2x11 paper, be properly foot-noted and contain a proper bibliography. Papers must also have a cover page setting out, inter alia, the student's name and number and the title of the paper. The papers are due the last day of classes, i.e., November 26th, except for papers which are being presented on November 26th, which will be due December 3rd; no extensions will be given. Late papers will be downgraded at the rate of one letter grade for each day late, i.e., an A paper will go to B after one day, C after two days, etc.(note: these penalties for late papers also apply to the discussion papers).
