'Bretton Woods' has become shorthand for the post-war international
financial and economic framework. Mindful of the historic 1944
conference and its legacy for the discipline of international
economic law, the American Society of International Law's
International Economic Law Group (IELG) chose Bretton Woods as the
venue for a landmark scholarly meeting. In November of 2006, a
diverse group of academics and practitioners gathered to reflect on
the past, present and future of international economic law. They
sought to survey and advance three particular areas of endeavour:
research and scholarship, teaching, and practice/service. This book
represents an edited collection of some of the exceptional papers
presented at the conference including contributions from Andreas
Lowenfeld, Joel Trachtman, Amelia Porges and Andrew Lang. The
volume is organised into three parts, each covering one of the
three pillars in the discipline of international economic law:
research and scholarship; teaching; and practice/service. It begins
with an assessment of the state and future of research in the
field, including chapters on questions such as: what is
international economic law? Is it a branch of international law or
of economic law? How do fields outside of law, such as economics
and international relations, relate to international economic law?
How do research methodologies influence policy outcomes? The second
part examines the state and future of teaching in the subject.
Chapters cover topics such as: how and where is international
economic law taught? Is the training provided in the law schools
suitable for future academics, government officials, or
practitioners? How might regional shortcomings in academic
resources be addressed? The final part of the book focuses on the
state and future of international economic law practice in the
Bretton Woods era, including institutional reform. The contributors
consider issues such as: what is the nature of international
economic law practice? What are the needs of practitioners in
government, private practice, international and non-governmental
organisations? Finally, how have the Bretton Woods institutions
adapted to these and other challenges-and how might they better
respond in the future? International Economic Law: The State and
Future of the Discipline will be of interest to lawyers, economists
and other professionals throughout the world-whether in the
private, public, academic or non-governmental sectors-seeking both
fresh insights and expert assessments in this expanding field.
Indeed, the book itself promises to play a role in the next phase
of the development of international economic law.
