Learning unit contents
The course is not organized in 2020-2021 The course focuses on a general theme (different every year), divided into a series of more specific or technical sub-themes, all inspired by the world of business, or more broadly, by the world of economic exchanges. Hence, it is a question of studying a specific subject in depth, both from a legal point of view and with regard to its economic, historical and sociological extensions. Since this subject is also the object of research for the teacher, it is necessary to systematically make the link between the research and the teaching given in class, and subsequently actively involve the students in it (in the style of a real research seminar). Students will be asked to prepare et present some texts before each meeting to discuss them. These texts will be sent via the platform MyULg.
For the academic year 2019-2020, the seminar will be devoted to the book of Grégoire Chamayou, La société ingouvernable: une généalogie du libéralisme autoritaire (Paris, La Fabrique éditions, 2018) and to the analysis of some changes in business law able to illustrate some of the developments of this book.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
To get students to familiarise themselves with a specific issue regarding business law (in a much more in-depth manner than in the basic course in economic law), by establishing links with disciplines other than law (essentially the economy) and by getting accustomed to looking in a broader and more critical way at the subject under analysis.
