The 4 week programme consists of a variety of paper predominantly focusing on indigenous rights law with a 4 day study to Easter Island with an academic to study the Rapa Nui (not funded by the PMSLA). The 2019 Latin America Law Summer School programme will provide 8 of our senior New Zealand law students with the opportunity to gain an introduction to selected areas of Chilean law, insight into law and a legal system that operates in a different social economic and political context predominately focusing on Indigenous Rights Law, Trade Law and experience working alongside legal practitioners in Chile. University of Canterbury ECON228 Study Tour – Chile and Argentina The course is especially designed for Business Economics students and uses economic thinking to address issues in an industry that operates both in New Zealand and in our selected countries in South America. This comparative approach allows students to gain a deeper understanding of issues pertinent to the industry. Students will take part in formal classroom activities in South America and in New Zealand. Students will also undertake group research on the businesses visited before each visit and prepare presentations based on what they learned after the visits. Students reflect on their cultural learning regularly in a form of a marked reflective journal. Finally, upon arriving back in New Zealand, students write an individual essay on the focus industry. The essay will draw from all the learnings and be comparative in nature. The inaugural occurrence of ECON 228 in 2018 takes the wine industry as its focus industry, and Chile as the main comparison country to New Zealand. The course will also take students on a short visit in Argentina where they can add to their understanding of the diverse South American business environments.
