Course Description:
The coexistence, interaction and competition between China’s state capitalism and liberal capitalism has brought forth a host of challenging ideological, conceptual and practical issues to the liberal international economic order (LIEO). This course is designed to provide students with a sophisticated understanding of China’s state capitalism and the future of international economic law. It will focus on why China’s state capitalism is viewed as a challenge to the LIEO, how international trade, investment, and financial laws facilitate or constrain China’s practice of such a unique political-economic model, and what the future holds for China and international economic law.
