授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course | | This course is an interdisciplinary introduction to the Social Sciences, with a focus on Law and Economics. Through a series of lectures, discussions, and readings, students will learn the basic concepts of International Law and Economic Theory in order to acquire the skills and ways of thinking required to understand the rationale behind the laws and policies that regulate markets and the relations between countries.
At the end of the course, students will be able to explain how nations deal with transnational issues like cultural property and public health within the framework determined by the International Law. They could also clearly understand the trade-offs behind the design of economic policies such as taxation and protection of intellectual property. |
