On November 13-14, 2004, the University of Wisconsin-Madison will host the Wisconsin-Harvard Workshop on International Economic Law and Transnational Regulation, designed to explore new approaches to international economic law.

Speakers from Harvard, Wisconsin and other institutions both national and international will gather to look at a range of recent initiatives and re-think the nature of the regime through which international economic and commercial affairs are regulated.

The workshop is designed to promote scholarship that goes beyond the analysis of trade law and other international economic law doctrines, be they national or international, and the narrow questions of policy which they routinely raise, to conceptualize the system more broadly as a form of public order, foregrounding questions of power, democracy, legitimacy, and distribution.

Speakers are Reuven Avi-Yonah (Michigan), John Braithwaite (Australian National University), Damian Chalmers (London School of Economics), Dan Danielsen (Northeastern), Orfeo Fioretos (Wisconsin), Bryant Garth(American Bar Foundation), Rob Howse (Michigan), David Kennedy (Harvard Law School), Heinz Klug (UW Law School), John Ohnesorge (UW Law School), Kerry Rittich (Harvard Law School/Toronto), Harm Schepel (Kent), Gregory Shaffer (UW Law School), Chantal Thomas (Fordham/UCLA), Joel Trachtman (Fletcher/Harvard Law School), David Trubek (UW Law School), and Robert Wai (Osgoode Hall/ EUI).

The workshop is sponsored by the Harvard Law School European Law Research Center, the Wisconsin Project on Governance and Regulation (WISGAR), and the Center for World Affairs and the Global Economy (WAGE) Governance Project, and co-sponsored by the Global Legal Studies Initiative and the Institute for Legal Studies.

The workshop will be held in Room 206 Ingraham Hall on the UW-Madison campus. Registration is required: please contact Patrick Cottrell, cottrell@polisci.wisc.edu .
