Course taught: Trade and investment in times of disruption, at 8th LSGL Summer School, HSE University

This course addressed the two main disruptive movements in international trade and investment law. First, we considered the critical proposals for review of the trade and investment liberal order.

The second movement of disruption is the most recent trend of protectionist measures amidst COVID-19, both to trade and investment flows. The purpose was to explore the clash of those two disruptive movements to the global economy.
