The colloquium focuses on accountability and participation in international governance issues. The aim is to frame an emerging international administrative law. Papers by invited speakers will address such topics as: the World Bank Inspection Panel and other non-judicial review structures; lessons for global governance from judicial review in the European Union; review of international decisions in national courts; assessment of scientific justifications for restrictions on trade; implementing and controlling cultural exceptions to global standards; international courts as governance actors; accountability and participation of corporations in global governance. Through class discussion and their own research papers, students will consider: arguments for and against different regulatory models, ranging from self-regulation to enforcement backed by state power; the meanings and uses of such concepts as 'governance', 'civil society', 'democracy', 'rule of law' and 'accountability' in relation to global issues; and relations between international and national law.
