Comparative International Business Law ((3 Credits))

Catalog description

This advanced level liberal arts course is designed for upper level undergraduate students majoring in business or related disciplines. This course will give students from many cultures and traditions a broad view of the overall structure of the legal environment for global business while providing a comprehensive look at critical legal issues and functions in international business: how businesses are governed and regulated; the main concepts underlying international business and the regulatory framework which applies to business relationships in a global context. Topics include state responsibility, dispute settlement, multinational enterprises, foreign investment, securities regulations, financing, commercial trade in goods, services and labor, intellectual property, sales and transportation. No single legal system is emphasized; both the diversity and similarities of business and of the law are explored. This course is offered for our International Education program students.
