EVENTS
The Political Economy Lab is partnering with the Laureate Program in Global Corporations and International Law (LPGCIL) at Melbourne Law School and the Program on the Corporation, Law and Global Society at Northeastern University in hosting a series of global workshops on the role of global corporations and international law in shaping global governance. The workshops aim to identify & support early-career scholars working on critical issues related to how international law enables corporate power. The first workshop was held at the Lauterpacht Centre at Cambridge University in December 2022. The next workshop will take place in July 2023 in Heidelberg, Germany. The call for papers and submission information is available here. Additional workshops will follow, beginning with Toronto, Canada in October 2023 and other regions in 2024. Please contact us if you are a early-career scholar whose research falls in this domain and you would like to participate in a future workshop.
