A Canadian Perspective On Fifty Years Of International Economic Law, J. Anthony Van Duzer
A Canadian Perspective On Fifty Years Of International Economic Law, J. Anthony Van Duzer
Dalhousie Law Journal
In 1970, “international economic law” (IEL) was not a distinct academic subject. Fifty years later, IEL has become an important and well-recognized field of legal enquiry, though its boundaries remain unclear. Globalization of trade and investment activity and the concomitant proliferation of trade and investment treaties over the last 50 years have been key drivers of academic interest in IEL and its transformation.
