Full Description
Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.
This innovative Research Agenda examines the transformational changes affecting the global economic architecture, international law, and investment and trade paradigms. Renowned authors discuss and raise insightful questions with respect to a host of topics including: international tribunals, human rights policies, cross-border data flows, trends in the digital economy, WTO reform, sanctions, subsidies, judicialization of global economic governance, the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement, and the re-conceptualization of national security.
A Research Agenda for Global Power Shifts and International Economic Law is designed for students, researchers, and academics in economic law, international relations, and politics. Moreover, as many of the issues examined impact the practice of law as well as international business, this Research Agenda is of particular relevance to counsel, arbitrators, and judges.
