SUMMARY:The Hidden Rules of International Trade – Trade Finance Masterclass Session 3
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this course is designed for LSE LAW students ONLY.  \n\n\nREGISTER HERE \n\n\nCertificates will be provided to participants who attend all three sessions. \nIt is mandatory for all participants  to present their valid LSE ID cards upon arrival at each masterclass. Failure to do so will regrettably result in denial of entry. \n\nDiscussions about international trade typically focus on negotiations of tariffs and free trade agreements between states\, but ignore the daily movement and financing of  goods and services that cross borders every day.  What arrangements support the importation of fruit to our supermarkets? What arrangements support the payment of the multiple suppliers producing components of cars or smart phones?  How are the parties financed when there’s a gap in payment terms?  What about non-payment risk? What law and jurisdiction govern? \nUnknown to the majority of qualified lawyers\, there is a detailed private law system of rules and practice supporting import / export transactions\, including the cross-border provision of services.  This system remains obscure\, despite the value of global trade being at an all-time high of nearly $33 trillion in 2024. \nThis certificate Trade Finance Masterclass Series at LSE Law School is designed to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to: (1) the legal rules and industry practice governing cross border trade and trade finance; (2) the continued challenge transitioning global trade from a paper based system to digital; (3) the risks arising for international trade when deals are impacted by economic sanctions or fraud. \nThis course is open to students at the LSE studying Law or Law and finance.  Students will earn a certificate for attending all sessions\, but the course will not count as credit to put towards any degree\, nor will it be examinable. \nSession 1 – 28 October 2025\nThe Hidden Rules of International Trade: Legal Rules and Industry Practice \nSpeaker: Lorna Strong\, Associate Programme Director\, MSc Law and Finance\nIntroductions: Professor David Kershaw\, LSE Law \nSession 2 – 11 November 2025\nThe Hidden Rules of International Trade: The Drive for Digital Transformation\, including a review of fintech and blockchain initiatives and the UK Electronic Trade Documents Act. \nSpeakers:\nLorna Strong\, Associate Programme Director\, MSc Law and Finance\nMichael Lehotzki\, Managing Associate General Counsel\, HSBC \nSession 3 – 18 November 2025\nThe Hidden Rules of International Trade: Managing the Risk of Economic Sanctions and Fraud \nSpeaker: Lorna Strong\, Associate Programme Director\, MSc Law and Finance \nThis event operates on a first come first serve basis and a ticket does not guarantee entry so we advise you arrive early to secure your seat. \nThis event will be followed by a drinks reception. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:LSE Law & Anthropology Seminar Series: Housing\, Precarity\, and Polylegality in Urban Papua New Guinea
DESCRIPTION:The next LSE Law & Anthropology Seminar will be held on Tuesday 25 March 2025\, from 5pm to 6.30pm\, in the Old Anthropology Library (LSE Old Building).  \nSpeaker is Dr. Melissa Demian\, Senior Lecturer in Social Anthropology at the University of St. Andrews. Melissa will speak on “Housing\, Precarity\, and Polylegality in Urban Papua New Guinea.” This presentation will build on her field work in Papua New Guinea. \nThe cities and towns of Papua New Guinea (PNG) are characterised by formal urban centres which are surrounded by much larger areas of informal settlements occupying land held under customary tenure. Formal urban areas are situated on land that was alienated during the colonial era (roughly 1877-1975)\, and that were\, up until the postwar period\, conceived by the Australian administration explicitly as European towns in which Melanesians were to be solely transient labour\, quarantined in barracks and dormitories. These residential patterns were enforced through a range of “Native Regulations” and other laws designed to constrain the urban spaces Papua New Guinean people could occupy\, and how they could occupy them.\n\nNearly fifty years after independence\, towns and cities in PNG exhibit different forms of segregation and exclusion that may nonetheless be seen as extensions of the colonial legal regime. Formal housing in the city centres is largely affordable only to the Papua New Guinea middle class and expatriates on international salaries. The majority of urban residents live in the informal settlements. They do so under a variety of extra-legal leasehold agreements with customary landowners who may initiate or terminate leases at will. These landowners manage problems among their tenants with methods ranging from quasi-legal mediations with  to violent eviction and the destruction of houses\, most of which have been built by the tenants themselves.\n\nFocusing on housing in the city of Lae\, this paper initiates an enquiry into the polylegality of how people inhabit urban space in PNG. By “polylegality\,” I aim to convey an infusion of the legal not just with multiple legal regimes\, but with the multiple spaces created through everyday practices of dwelling\, and with the temporalities of a postcolonial urbanism that is still haunted by colonial law. Housing in the settlements is often described as precarious\, and can indeed present impressions of life on the edge at times. But for most settlement residents\, questions of precarity or security are always under construction\, entangled with the immediacy of conducting their relationships within the settlement\, and the multiplicity of modes of living that are available to them in the wider landscape of the city.\n\nAll LSE staff and PhD students are very welcome to attend. This event will operate on a first come\, first serve basis. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Trump 2.0 and U.S Foreign Economic Policy
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \n\n\nDuring the Biden administration\, U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan critiqued the neoliberal consensus and developed a framework (the New Washington Consensus) to break from the past and engage in domestic industrial policy that relied on a range of tools of economic statecraft. What remains of the New Washington Consensus? What will the first 100 days of Trump 2.0 tell us about the United States’ policies concerning cross-border flows of capital\, trade\, and technology? What does Trump 2.0 mean for U.S. relations with Europe\, other major economies\, and international economic institutions? \nThis panel will discuss trade-offs concerning U.S. foreign economic policy in the second Trump administration. The experts will analyse proposals made during the Trump campaign and the initial months of the second administration\, including tariff threats and other trade defences to reduce dependence on China\, tackle trade deficits\, push for export market access\, and to secure a techno-industrial base for the United States. In a time of heightened geopolitical tension and a race to secure growth in a rapidly changing global economy\, the discussants will reflect on the policy shifts from Trump to Biden back to Trump again. \nSpeakers: \nKathleen Claussen \nRupert Schlegelmilch \nAlan Beattie \nChad Bown \nChair: \nDr Mona Paulsen \nA drinks reception will follow this event.  \nAlthough this event is ticketed\, please note that we still operate on a first-come\, first-served basis. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Law and Anthropology Series - Postliberal Legal Anthropology: Toward the Anthropology of Legal Form
DESCRIPTION:Amid converging global crises\, the global legal order is undergoing a period of profound transformation. In response\, legal anthropologists are revisiting a question that in recent decades they sought to evade: What is law? In this talk\, I describe an emerging turn in legal anthropology that examines legal form. While anthropologists studying legal form adopt diverse analytical approaches\, I focus on the aesthetic qualities of legal form—the material\, sensory\, and symbolic conditions through which ‘law’ is represented\, recognized\, and resisted. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork with movements claiming ‘the right to food’ within shifting multi-stakeholder spaces\, I argue that these aesthetic dimensions of legal form offer a framework for understanding how law shapes and reconstitutes politics and power relations. Through examining how activists navigate the postliberal forms of governance\, I demonstrate how attention to legal form provides critical insights into the shifting normative organization of power in the contemporary global legal landscape. \nSpeaker: Dr. Matthew Canfield is Assistant Professor of Law & Anthropology at Leiden University. Drawing on ethnographic methods\, his research examines the law and governance of food security. Located at the intersection of human rights\, transnational governance\, and agro-environmental politics\, he is interested in the ways that social movements and civil society are mobilizing rights to shape food systems governance. \nPlease note that it will operate on a first-come\, first-serve basis. To secure your seat\, we kindly recommend arriving early. Thank you for your understanding. \n  \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Beyond Enmity: Carl Schmitt’s Unlikely Interlocutors
DESCRIPTION:Carl Schmitt is as influential as he is controversial. Recent scholarship has made the enmity in his life and work its focus. This workshop\, on the contrary\, puts friendship front and centre. Reconstructing conversations between Schmitt and contemporaneous critics—free lawyer Theodor Sternberg\, legal positivist Hans Kelsen\, and neo-orthodox theologian Dietrich Bonnhoeffer—workshop participants recover Schmitt’s intellectual milieu. By doing so\, they challenge conventional narratives of 20th-century legal and political thought—first and foremost the distinction between putatively liberal and illiberal forms of jurisprudence. Synthesising the theories of Schmitt and his adversaries thus sets the foundation for both better understanding their philosophies and developing novel insights into the nature of state and law. \nJoin via Zoom: https://lse.zoom.us/j/83065349863 \nPlease note this event will operate on a first-come first-serve basis. \nSpeakers/ Discussants: \nKatharina Isabel Schmidt (Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law & Yale Law School): ‘“Fetishistic” Formalism: Carl Schmitt\, Theodor Sternberg\, and German Free Law Thought’ \nAnna Lukina (London School of Economics and Political Science & University of Cambridge): ‘Beyond Political Decisionism and Legal Normativism: On The Three Types of Juristic Thought (1934) and Schmittian-Kelsenian Synthesis’ \nValentin Jeutner (University of Lund & University of Oxford): ‘Deciding without Exception: Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Carl Schmitt on Sovereign Decision-Making’ \nLars Vinx (University of Cambridge) \nThomas Poole (London School of Economics and Political Science) \n\n\n	Related
