Lesson topic“Transnational commerce, migration, and culture have transformed the world into a single
globalized marketplace” (T. Friedman, The World is Flat, Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2005). Thischange of perspective (called “globalization”) has had an enormous impact not only on trade but
also on many branches of the law, such as labor law. The course aims are providing students withthe legal tools to deal with the contemporary process for determining, in particular, how to reacha balance between labor rights and economic interests in the global environment.
