Competition law and sustainable development
In this course we introduce the discussions about competition law and sustainable development from the perspective of developing countries. We discuss how competition law is related to markets in general, and then address specifically the different ways in which competition law and its enforcement facilitate or hinder economic development. We also focus on issues of sustainability, and in particular, the extent to which competition law should address environmental and governance issues and the advantages and problems of doing so.
Organize
Addressed to
This course is aimed at national and international audiences with an interest on economic law, market regulation, competition, economics, ESG goals and development. These audiences are made of both local and foreign PhD’s and Master’s students in law, political science, and international relations. We also aim at public officials of the judiciary and of administrative agencies, such as the competition authorities in Andean countries like Ecuador and Peru.
Goals
To present to the students the relevance of competition law and its enforcement for sustainable development.
- To understand and critically analyze the discourses and policies that have been constructed around the development and conservation of the Colombian Amazon.
- To understand the nature and heterogeneity of some of the dynamics of territorial configuration within the region.
- To identify possible alternatives that can contribute to both peace building and sustainable social development.
Methodology
Each session will be dedicated to a single topic and will have a have a guest speaker. Prior to the speaker, the two professors will discuss the core concepts involved in the presentation by the guest speaker. Then, we will have the presentation by the guest speaker via Zoom (approximately for 45 minutes). After the presentation we will have a session with questions and answers involving the guest speaker, the professors and the students. After the presentation, the professors will close the discussion by connecting the previous discussion with the other topics that will be discussed or that have been discussed before in the course.
Benefits
This course will be the first of its kind in discussing competition law and development issues. Students will benefit mostly from looking at competition law and development by being able to discuss the topics with world-class scholars. Local students will also benefit from being able to take and participate in a course that will be 100% in English with excellent scholars without having to travel abroad. Students from neighboring countries will find this course appealing because they can take it without incurring in the expenses of travelling to the United States or the United Kingdom and enroll in a university there for a fraction of the price.
