3. Frankfurt Investment Law Workshop on “International Investment Law and the Global Financial Architecture”

For several years, the Frankfurt Investment Law Workshop has been a forum to discuss conceptual issues of international investment law. This year’s workshop – organised by Rainer Hofmann (Frankfurt), Stephan Schill (Max Planck Institute, Heidelberg) and Christian J Tams (Glasgow) – will take place on 14-15 March 2014, and it will explore “International Investment Law and the Global Financial Architecture”. Papers will address interrelations and interactions between international investment law on the one hand, and financial market and banking regulation, free flow of capital, sovereign debt, and monetary policy on the other. The full program is here. The event is open to the public, but requires prior registration. Anyone interested in participating should email S.Schimpf [at] jur.uni‐frankfurt.de.
