* Description of the Subject

The International Economic Relations field focuses on the consequences of the economic interaction among countries. These interactions include trade in goods, services, assets, ideas, and macroeconomic spillover effects, as well as the effects of rules, regulations and policies like tariffs, trade quotas, controls on the international flow of capital and the exchange rate regime.  There are important consequences of these interactions including unemployment and inflation, the rise or fall of particular industries, and the outcomes for different categories of workers. These affect national welfare, economic stability, inequality and political movements, which in turn affect economic policymaking. The coursework in this field prepares students through the teaching of economic theory, political theory, statistics and various types of empirical analyses.

Combating International Economic Crime is in rapid development as states seek to catch up with criminal practices that are facilitated by economic globalization, by the diversity and territorial limitations of national market regulations and criminal laws, and by the opportunities offered by modern forms of electronic transactions. Coordinated international efforts to fight transnational business delinquency concern, first, the harmonization of the definition of economic crimes. Such harmonization is more advanced on the regional level, in particular in the European Union, than on the international level, where it essentially covers only money laundering and corrupt practices. Similarly, as regards cooperation in enforcement matters, international cooperation, though occurring in limited areas such as drug trafficking, remains in its infancy, however promising it may be. By contrast, on the regional level, the European Union has made considerable progress as regards judicial assistance, mutual recognition, and even joint enforcement by relying, on the one hand, on the conclusion of conventions between member states and, on the other, by implementing the opportunities for cooperation offered by the third pillar of the EU Treaty. More generally, the development of international criminal law is characterized by both increased reliance on binding agreements rather than on the soft law of recommendations made by international organizations and by better monitoring of the use and effectiveness of international instruments.
