Obiettivi formativi
The course aims at enabling students to understand the structure and purposes of the main international organizations and of the other actors in the field of international economic law. Further, it aims at providing the analytical tools for a basic understanding of the IMF and the World Bank, their institutional and legal framework and their interconnections. The course will also focus on sovereign debt restructuring issues.
Students will be provided both with a solid background as well as a set of conceptual and critical tools for reflecting more deeply on the dynamics of international financial institutions and the logics of sovereign debt.

Modalità di verifica dell'apprendimento
Written exam with open questions (3 questions out of the 4 proposed). Each question carries equal marks. Grades will be expressed in /30 taking into account knowledge of the subject, inclusiveness, accuracy in response and quality of legal reasoning and the use of the correct terminology.
For students of the course of Comparative Law in a Global Context (3 CFU), the exam will be held together with the one of prof Francavilla (always a written exam, with open questions). You will therefore have more questions to answers, but also more time to write.

Programma
The course will begin by introducing the subjects of international economic law: States, international organisations and private actors (such as NGOs and multinational enterprises), focusing on the divide between industrialised States and least developed countries.
The course will then analyse the governance structure and the mandate of international financial institutions (the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank), discussing some of the most controversial aspects such as their conditionality policy.
The last part of the course will be devoted to sovereign debt and the existing regimes for sovereign debt restructuring; the Greek crisis will be discussed as a case study.
