Event Outline

The geopolitical turmoil in recent times has augmented the role of national security in international economic law and rendered the rule of law governing international trade and investment almost an irrelevancy. This lecture will explore some of the key manifestations of the security-backed rejection of international economic legal principles centred on open markets and private property, including tariffs and subsidization in trade as well as foreign investment screening and expropriation.
