Taught Masters Degrees: International Dispute Resolution


Module Convener: Professor Robin Churchill (r.r.churchill@dundee.ac.uk) Room 4.05

The method of assessment is 50% by coursework and 50% by written examination.

The aim of this module is to examine the various means by which international disputes, particularly of a commercial or economic character, may be resolved. It deals with mechanisms and institutions for resolving disputes between two or more States (including cases brought by States on behalf of corporate bodies) and disputes between corporate bodies and States. It does not deal with the resolution of disputes where both parties to the dispute are corporate bodies. Topics to be covered include the bringing of claims by States in respect of injury to their nationals; dispute resolution by diplomatic and judicial means (including arbitration); and dispute resolution procedures under the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes, the World Trade Organization and North American Free Trade Agreement.
