AALS Discussion Group

Go Back

This discussion group will undertake an examination of global economic regulation (e.g., trade, investment, development, and finance) and its accommodation of the changing demands of national security. The literature on global economic regulation and national security law have remained largely siloed, exacerbating the legal dichotomy between the two and the salience of their apparently contrasting demands. A study of this space implicates institutions at the domestic and international level, which complement and reinforce each other. This discussion group will seek to explore recent developments in these areas and begin to bridge the divide.
