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.

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.

Internazionalizzazione del mercato, dumping e aiuti di stato: la posizione dell’Ue e le misure di difesa commerciale per le imprese

di Paolo Davide Farah 

Sintesi

Nell’arena internazionale del mercato globale, gli imprenditori e le imprese dell’Unione europea sono chiamati a far fronte a numerose insidie concorrenziali, alcune delle quali provenienti da Paesi terzi. La continua e crescente internazionalizzazione del mercato fa emergere la necessità impellente per le imprese comunitarie di rispondere alle varie sfide concorrenziali in modo efficace e tempestivo, avvalendosi degli strumenti di difesa commerciale elaborati dall’ordinamento comunitario.

Gli Stati membri dell’Unione europea hanno infatti sviluppato una propria politica commerciale comune verso i Paesi terzi, finalizzata a favorire lo sviluppo del commercio mondiale, l’abolizione progressiva delle restrizioni agli scambi e la riduzione delle barriere tariffarie. La liberalizzazione degli scambi richiede tuttavia la chiara definizione di diritti ed obblighi in capo alla totalità dei partner commerciali e questo determina la necessità di disporre meccanismi giuridici che assicurino il rispetto delle norme di corretta concorrenza tra imprese che operano nell’arena internazionale.

11 Dicembre 2012 – Proiezione internazionale ed attrazione degli investimenti esteri: quali strategie per il Veneto?

Proiezione internazionale e 

attrazione degli investimenti esteri: 

quali strategie per il Veneto?

Presentazione Rapporto Veneto Internazionale 2012
Venezia, 11 dicembre 2012
ore 10.00
Auditorium Santa Margherita
Dorsoduro 3689 – Venezia 

In un contesto caratterizzato da una profonda crisi economica e da un lento riassestamento del sistema economico regionale, la vocazione alle esportazioni e l’apertura internazionale rappresentano l’unico elemento di forza del Veneto e più in generale del Nord-Est italiano. Ma sul versante dell’attrazione degli investimenti diretti esteri la situazione della regione non appare confortante. Negli ultimi anni si è assistito ad un’inversione di tendenza dopo un lungo periodo che dall’inizio degli anni ’80 aveva visto continuamente crescere la presenza di multinazionali estere in Veneto. Ed è probabile che la fase negativa sia solo all’inizio, dato che la crisi economica sta colpendo duramente le imprese, e non poche multinazionali hanno annunciato forti ristrutturazioni se non addirittura la chiusura delle attività.

In un quadro che vede il nostro Paese perdere progressivamente attrattività in ambito nazionale, appare quindi urgente per il Veneto ripensare strategie e politiche di sviluppo regionale finalizzate non solo a promuovere una più incisiva presenza nelle reti globali della produzione e della conoscenza, ma anche a favorire l’attrazione di nuovi capitali dall’estero, dai quali il sistema economico regionale potrebbe trarre beneficio, soprattutto se destinati all’avvio di nuove attività economiche o al perfezionamento di quelle già insediate.
