Description of the Stream/Theme on International Economic Law and Development

Leaflet to download: University of York – SLAS – Panel on International Economic Law and Development – Conference Timetable-For Presenters

The concept of ‘development’ has long has been a key focal point of the rules and institutions that regulate the global economy. Development as a social, economic and political construct is deeply embedded within the lawmaking, policy formulation and adjudicative functions of international economic institutions, and often enrolled as a normative, prescriptive and constitutive force in the shaping of international economic law.

Contemporary events are once again shifting the multifaceted function and contested nature of development to the forefront of the international economic order. The coupling of a global recession with emerging conflicts over natural resources, climatic and environmental insecurity and the socio-political and military fragmentation of states is necessitating the prioritisation of an extended agenda for development in international affairs.

The convenors welcome proposals that use socio-legal approaches to address this broad theme of the place of development in international economic law. What are its theoretical and practical origins, meanings and futures? How is the concept of development articulated in international economic legal fora? Why does it matter? We hope to stimulate discussion and further collaboration on these areas among participants of the theme.

Art and Heritage Disputes

Maastricht University- 24-25 March 2013

ART AND HERITAGE DISPUTES
CONFERENCE PROGRAMME

The conference aims to identify, map and critically assess the number of art and heritage disputes which have arisen in the past decades. The return of cultural artifacts to their legitimate owners, the recovery of underwater cultural heritage, the governance of sites of outstanding and universal value, the protection and promotion of artistic expressions, and the protection of cultural sites in time of war are just some of the issues which have given rise to art and heritage related disputes. Such disputes have involved a number of different actors arising among states, states and private individuals and individuals. As the regulation of cultural goods constitutes a good example of multilevel governance and legal pluralism, art and heritage related disputes have been brought before national fora, human rights courts and tribunals, international economic law fora and even before the International Court of Justice. Such disputes have certainly made headlines and attracted the varied interests of academics and policy-makers, museum curators and collectors, human rights activists and investment lawyers, thieves and guards, and artists and economists to mention a few. The conference will map these disputes and assess the contribution that these cases are offering to the development of international law in both its public and private dimensions.

The conference is co-organized by Professor Hildegard Schneider and Dr. Valentina Vadi.

Professor Dr. Hildegard Schneider is the Dean of the Faculty of Law at Maastricht University. She has lectured in art law for more than twenty years and has regularly convened international workshops and conferences on cultural law on an almost yearly basis. She has published a number of contributions in this field, and has co-edited (with Peter Van den Bossche) Protection of Cultural Diversity from a European and International Law Perspective (Intersentia 2008), and (with Valentina Vadi) Art, Cultural Heritage and the Market (Springer, forthcoming 2013).

Dr. Valentina Vadi is a Marie Curie postdoctoral Fellow of the Faculty of Law at Maastricht University. She has been awarded a Marie Curie Fellowship by the European Commission for the years 2011-2013 concerning cultural heritage in international law. She has published a number of contributions in this field and has co-edited (with Hildegard Schneider) Art, Cultural Heritage and the Market (Springer, forthcoming 2013). She is the author of The Cultural Wealth of Nations in International Investment Law and Arbitration (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming 2013)

The conference will be held on 24-25 March in Maastricht, the Netherlands. The conference papers will be published in the special issue Art and Heritage Disputes (co-edited by Valentina Vadi and Hildegard Schneider) of Transnational Dispute Management in the last quarter of 2013.

First Workshop IUSE-LIBEAC — Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Social Sciences, Institute of Political Studies, Prague, Czech Republic 

This session: Date: 16^th January 2013

Location: Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Social Sciences, Institute of Political Studies, Prague, Czech Republic

Coordination by LIBEAC participant: University Institute of European Studies (IUSE) in Turin, Italy

 

Title : How Globalization and Liberalism are Changing the World? 

Short description

Public opinion and policy makers fear that international trade, in particular a further liberalization thereof, may undermine or jeopardize policies and measures on a wide variety of issues, for example, climate change, the protection the environment and the sustainable development, good governance, cultural rights, labour rights, public health, social welfare, national security, food safety, access to knowledge, consumer interests and animal welfare. There is a general consensus that these non-trade concerns, which cover very different societal aspirations and fears, must be addressed in EU external policy and in particular measures relating to international trade and foreign direct investment.

However, many of the trade measures introduced by developed countries to address non-trade concerns have been met by developing countries with cautious distrust if not with resistance or dissent. Developing countries often doubt the authenticity of such concerns that can be inspired by protectionist aims, rather than genuine non-trade concerns. Moreover, developing countries see these measures as an attempt by developed countries to impose their social, ethical or cultural values and preferences on exporting developing countries.
