Short Course description

Changing structures of legal regulation becomes a core aspect of the current globalisation of society that is quite often determined in terms of internationalisation of law. Thus, legal norms are not only established at the national, but also at the international level. The research course on Fundamentals of Law in Globalisation is aimed at stimulating some interdisciplinary debate on fundamental principles and concepts of law, in the context facilitating more general discussions on the progressing internationalisation of law, at the global level. The research course is focused on some specific thematic areas, these are: criminal justice, including also elements of international humanitarian law; regulation of the economic field by means of law; tort law and the evidence law; in addition to a broader debate on the mutual relations between law, culture and constitutions.
