Introduction to the law and economics of civil law with German landmark cases The course will provide a concise introduction to the law and economics of civil law. In an introductory part it will deal with the crucial role of law and institutions for the wealth of a nation.

Over 3000 international investment agreements (IIA) currently operates through Bilateral investment treaties (BITs) and investment protection provisions of free trade agreements (FTAs). Investment agreements are concluded by the investors home country and the host country. Its aim is to protect the investor and investment made in the territory of the host country. By the nature of mixing public-private law, investment treaties usually have a wider implication for the domestic regulatory regime of host states. Notable examples include trade, tax, intellectual property, renewable energy, environment and public health policies. How to balance investor rights and the host states right to regulate in public mattes has thus become a topical issue in investment relations. On dispute settlement, foreign investor are given the direct rights to use international arbitration challenging the host states measures. The arbitral rules of the ICSID (International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes) and United Nations Commission International Trade Law Arbitration Rules (UNCITRAL) are the two rules which have been most commonly used. As practiced, the number of investor-State arbitrations has mushroomed as hundreds of millions of dollars have been awarded as compensation remedies. Investment arbitration usually affects a wider public interest of a host state and thus has invited hot debates within international economic community. Tentative topics to be discussed follow. (1) Overview of International Investment Law _ Proliferation in Asia (2) Definition on investors and investments (3) Non-discrimination treatment: National Treatment; Most Favoured Nation (4) Indirect expropriations and right to regulate (5) Fair and equitable treatment: the emerging proportionality principle? (6) Full protection and security/ umbrella clause (7) Cross-cutting Issues in Investment Law _ Asia Perspective on Sustainable Environment and Public Health (8) BIT dispute settlement in East Asia and the dispute settlement in the investment chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) (9) Introduction to ICSID arbitral rules(I): ICSID Jurisdiction, applicable law and interim measure (10) Introduction to ICSID arbitral rules(II):Challenge and annulment procedures (11) Introduction to ICSID arbitral rules(II): Enforcement and sovereign immunity The course is designed to help students establish the basic capacity to deal with issues on foreign investment law. It will also help students have good basic knowledges of investment arbitration. College of Law 1. Class sessions will be conducted by lectures and class discussions. 2. Each student is required to write a term paper at the end of the semester. The topic of the term paper needs to be approved by the instructor. The 10-page full-paper should use blue book citation. 5. Attendance for all classes and active class participation is strongly encouraged. In no event, the participants should miss two classes without good reason. 6.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) serves as the only and the most important multilateral institution addressing the rules of trade between nations. In todays globalized world, as trade increases and regional market integration deepens, legal issues of international economic relations are becoming more and more complicated. The issues facing the WTO are widening and go beyond a purely trade dimension. It might reach cross-cutting issues on foreign investment, environment, food safety, disease control, public moral, culture protection and human right. It is of immense importance for law students to have some broad understanding about WTO laws so as to know the essence of globalization and economic integration. The basic knowledge of WTO is also useful for understanding other fields of law, such as intellectual property law, service related laws (financial regulations, telecommunication laws, among others), international health law, and public international law. This course will be conducted in English. Main topic to be discussed: 1. The WTO: History and structure 2. WTO Dispute Settlement 3. Tariffs 4. Quantitative Restrictions 5. National Treatment 6.
