International Economic Law And Security Interests Conference (Call for Proposals)
14 November 2019 - 15 November 2019
Amsterdam, The Netherlands [Deadline for proposals: 31 July 2019] For decades, international economic law was deemed the "de-politicized" branch of international law. Rules-based dispute settlement, conducted by independent adjudicators, became the norm. Economic governance institutions were insulated from the decision-making fora of the United Nations, in which peace and security are overriding considerations. In trade and investment agreements, security exceptions were invoked sparingly, permitting governments and private entities to operate within a predictable legal framework. While this legalistic environment was never uncontested, key actors in the regime supported the assumption that, by and large, economic governance could be dissociated from broader geopolitical struggles. CO-CHAIRS: Amsterdam Center for International Law: Stephan Schill and Geraldo Vidigal; ESIL Interest Group International Economic Law: Peter-Tobias Stoll and Elisa Baroncini.
