Afternoon pro-seminars will offer participants the opportunity to share their own work in progress with colleagues and leading scholars in their field.

IGLP: THE WORKSHOP will be organized around five broad themes:

THE STRUCTURE AND HISTORY OF GLOBAL LAW

GLOBAL POLITICAL ECONOMY: THE ARCHITECTURE OF MONETARY AND FINANCIAL INTEGRATION

HUMAN RIGHTS AND SOCIAL JUSTICE

INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC POLICY AND TRANSNATIONAL REGULATION

LAW AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Exploration of each theme will be led by a team of senior scholars and will be designed to promote discussion on recent scholarly trends as well as classical texts. In addition there will be several plenary talks by leading scholars and policy makers. All participants in The Workshop will have an opportunity to participate in exploration of each thematic area and to share their own scholarship.

Our goal will be to understand the history and structure of our contemporary world political and economic system. We will aim to map modern money, finance, development, governance, regulation and social justice, opening them to contestation and debate.
