Course content

Learn to analyse the roles that multilateral institutions play in regulating crucial international economic relations. The International Economic Law LLM will give you a theoretical understanding and practical legal skills to understand and work with specific aspects of public international law concerned with economic relations between states and between states and non-state actors.

• Explore the significant policy issues that arise in the development and implementation of international economic legal frameworks
• Consider how these frameworks impact diverse economic sectors, including finance, trade, investment, innovation and knowledge
• Critically explore pressing developmental, environmental and financial stability concerns arising from the globalisation of the world economy
• Students who complete this LLM can go on to do a condensed LLM in Sustainable Development, in one year rather than two, at Universita Degli Studi di Milano
