Courses with Regulatory Content at Duke and UNC

Layna Mosley this fall will be teaching “The Political Economy of International Finance” at UNC  (POLI 891-09). This course will cover regulation and governance of international capital markets (including equity/bond markets, foreign direct investment), and one of the themes will be the variety of governance types that exist (public vs. private sector, international/national).

Ed Balleisen this spring will be teaching “The Modern Regulatory State” at Duke (HST 365D-01; PUBPOL 219D.001). This new undergraduate course offers an extended foray into the regulatory black box.   Framed around questions of historical origins and transformations, the course will begin with the construction of modern, technocratic regulatory bodies in Western Europe and especially the United States during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.  The course will examine the evolution of these institutions during the twentieth-century and explore more recent developments, including processes of privatization/deregulation and the impact of globalization on regulatory frameworks, and the expansion of regulatory modes of governance to emerging economies.

Jonathan Wiener this fall will be teaching Mass Torts (Law 579) at Duke and in the spring, Climate Change & the Law (Law 520) Risk Regulation (Law 590) and Property Law, Law 170).
