Institute for Global Law and Policy Harvard Law School

Annual Report – 2014 – 2015

Part I: Report of Activities

A. Summary of Academic Year: 2014-2015

a) Research and Scholarship

a. Summary Statement

Founded in 2009, The Institute for Global Law and Policy (IGLP) at Harvard Law School is a collaborative faculty effort to nurture innovative approaches to global policy in the face of a legal and institutional architecture manifestly ill-equipped to address our most urgent global challenges. Global poverty, conflict, injustice and inequality are also legal and institutional regimes. The IGLP explores the ways in which they are reproduced and what might be done in response. We aim to provide a platform at Harvard for new thinking about international legal and institutional arrangements, with particular emphasis on ideas and issues of importance to the global South. Professor David Kennedy serves as Institute Director.

The Institute continues the tradition developed at Harvard’s European Law Research Center by focusing on young scholars and policy makers from the global South, who bring new ideas and perspectives to comparative and international legal research and policy. The IGLP aims to facilitate the emergence of a creative dialog among young experts from around the world, strengthening our capacity for innovation and cooperative research.

The Institute has built strong relationships with faculty at a wide range of foreign institutions, represented by the scholars who participate in our Advisory Councils. We provide a focal point at Harvard Law School for faculty and students interested in new thinking about issues of global governance and international affairs. Each year, we sponsor a variety of conferences, workshops and symposia, both in Cambridge and in collaboration with our friends abroad. We regularly host both scholars and policy practitioners as Visiting Researchers and Fellows at Harvard, deepening our collaborative network among those seeking new approaches to international law, political economy and economic development from governments, international institutions, the private sector and the non-governmental sector.

As a reflection of this mandate, The Institute mounted a strong academic program during the 2014-2015 academic year, sponsoring an array of workshops, lectures and conferences. We were also very pleased to host a terrific group of Visiting Researchers and Fellows.

Our most exciting initiatives remained the annual ten-day Workshop for young scholars and policy practitioners held in Doha in January 2015, and the intensive residential program held at Harvard Law School in June. Since 2010, we have convened 444 young scholars representing more than 80 countries and over 230 universities to work alongside 108 convening faculty

1 from some of the world’s foremost universities. Over the three years that we have convened the Workshop in Doha, we have brought 251 young scholars from 65 countries to Education City, along with 56 Senior and 68 Junior faculty members from 39 countries and more than 75 universities.

The Doha Workshop: By the Numbers

Doha 2013 Doha 2014 Doha 2015 Participants: 81 Participants: 93 Participants: 94 Jr. Faculty: 27 Jr. Faculty: 31 Jr. Faculty 34 Sr. Faculty: 32 Sr. Faculty: 34 Sr. Faculty: 31 YPP: 10 YPP: 6 YPP: 6 Countries Countries Countries Represented: 46 Represented: 50 Represented: 58 Universities Universities Universities Represented: 95 Represented: 109 Represented: 111

Each year, we have sought both to deepen and to broaden the network of faculty and junior scholars engaged in our work by welcoming new scholars and encouraging sustained interest and research engagement among our faculty and participants, both at the Workshop, at Harvard and in their home universities. At each Workshop we welcome new scholars to our network: a full 369 of those who have been with us since 2010 have participated in only one Workshop. At the same time, we have worked to build a core community of scholars dedicated to the project, with ever deeper links to one another and to our work in Doha. We are gratified that 71 of our participant alumni have gone on to become Junior Faculty in successive Workshops and a core group of 185 scholars have participated repeatedly, some joining us for each of our IGLP Workshops. Eighty-five of our participants, Junior Faculty and Senior Faculty have taken part in two or more of the Doha Workshops

The 2015 Doha Workshop brought 100 young scholars and policy makers from 58 countries to Qatar for collaborative discussion and debate about global law and economic policy with 65 leading faculty from around the world. We received 563 applications from young scholars to participate in the 2015 IGLP Workshop, along with 18 applications from young policy professionals and 89 applications for our junior faculty program.

At the 2015 Workshop we continued our tradition of seeking new ways to deepen the network of collaboration among our Workshop Alumni, while also invigorating our core program with new participants and themes. We hosted a new group of IGLP alumni Docents, each of whom assisted with the organization of a Workshop Stream or convened a Writing Workshop. We also continued our program for Young Policy Professionals (YPP), which was inaugurated in 2013 and has been designed for young professionals from Qatar and the surrounding region who have an interest in sharing their ideas with global academic peers.

In June, with the support of our Leading Sponsor Santander, we hosted our 6th annual Cambridge based residential program, combining our large biennial global Conference with four mini-conferences, our annual Colloquium and one Pro-Seminar. In addition, we encouraged a series of panel “streams” within the global Conference allowing participants to follow one area of interest more closely. We were particularly pleased that Professors Yishai Blank (Tel Aviv) and Vasuki Nesiah (NYU) hosted a stream of panels devoted to Jerry Frug’s work

2 on local government law. The mini-conferences considered: The Corporation in Global Society; Critical Thinking About Sex, Sexuality, Gender, and Family; Monetary Design in Global Perspective; and Islamic Law and Empire. All of the conferences were open to the Harvard community and the broader public by registration. Our annual Colloquium, co-chaired by Sundhya Pahuja of Melbourne Law School and Luis Eslava of Kent Law School, on June 3-4, included an interdisciplinary discussion and an Advanced Writing Workshop for IGLP faculty and alumni.

IGLP’s June 2015 events exhibited the span of scholarship developed by members of the IGLP network and featured ongoing and new research projects by IGLP alumni and faculty. All together, the June 2015 events brought together over 425 scholars from over 78 countries at Harvard Law School to share their work over the course of the week. Over the course of the two days of the conference, 80 panels convened to share research, engage in discussion, and collaborate on prominent issues of international Law.

The 2015 June events offered scholars and thought leaders from across the globe the opportunity to connect with colleagues, to present their research to a global audience, to meet others who share similar intellectual passions, and to engage with innovative scholars from around the world. The mini-conferences offered the opportunity to reflect together on collaborative research projects ongoing within the IGLP network.

Since 2010, well over 2,000 young scholars have applied to participate in an IGLP Workshop or IGLP residential June Program. To date, more than 750 scholars have participated in one, or both of these programs. We are grateful to both the Qatar Foundation and Santander Universities for their support of these important initiatives and for their ongoing collaboration with the Institute.

Throughout the 2014-2015 academic year we were also pleased to host and sponsor a terrific series of programs and initiatives in collaboration with our other Sponsors whose continued faith and confidence in the work we do at the Institute could not be more timely or significant. With the Real Colegio Complutense we hosted our 12th annual Business Law Seminar at Harvard focused on “Corporate and Financial Law Problems: A Transatlantic Perspective.” With J&A Garrigues, S.L.P., we again organized a North American Lawyers Program in Madrid bringing Harvard law faculty to participate in training young Spanish corporate lawyers.

In 2014-2015, we also continued our history of sponsoring important transnational dialog by collaborating with partner institutions abroad and by supporting the ongoing work of our affiliated faculty. In May 2015, the IGLP and Sciences Po Law School jointly sponsored a Workshop in Paris, France, as part of our ongoing research project, headed by Lucie White, on Global Poverty and Heterodox Development Pathways. We continued our close work with Professor Janet Halley and the Program on Law and Social Thought, hosting a series of panels and discussions as part of our ongoing joint research project on Global Genealogy of Family Laws, as well as with Professor Sheila Jasanoff who, along with David Kennedy, leads the multi- year IGLP faculty research project on Expertise and Governance. In 2014, we developed a plan to inaugurate a new format of IGLP Regional Workshops. In August 2015, the first Regional Workshop was convened at The University of Los Andes.

As we look forward to 2015-2016, we will seek to find new ways of developing our financial base of support and strengthening our advisory councils to enhance our ability to pursue the

3 Institute’s broad global mandate. We will no longer convene our global workshop in Doha and are in conversation with donors and institutional partners about other potential sites, including the possibility of returning the global workshop to Harvard in 2017. We will expand our Workshop program by inaugurating two Regional Workshops to be held annually. The first, in Latin American, was convened in Bogota Colombia with University of Los Andes law faculty in August 2015 and will rotate between The University of Los Andes and the University of Sao Paolo each year. The second, in Africa, will be convened with Harvard’s Center for African Studies at their Cape Town location in January 2016. We are very excited about these new institutional collaborations and regional opportunities. We will continue to sponsor lectures, workshops and conferences throughout the year – both in Cambridge and in collaboration with our partners abroad.

b. Academic Conferences, Workshops and Events

The Institute regularly sponsors conferences and workshops, ranging from informal events to large meetings bringing hundreds of scholars to Cambridge for several days of intensive discussion. We also sponsor numerous opportunities for younger scholars to share their ongoing research with one another, in afternoon or lunchtime workshops, or more informal roundtable discussions. Each year, we also sponsor informal seminars in which participants in the Institute’s Visitors Program, other affiliates of the Institute, and experts from outside the Law School community address particular developments in the law and share their research. These events, which are open to all members of the Harvard community, promote broader understanding of particular subject areas and give scholars the opportunity to use other interested persons as “sounding boards” for new ideas. The Institute also serves as a resource for Harvard faculty with European law interests by co-sponsoring lectures, dinners and other informal events suggested by faculty colleagues over the course of the year.

IGLP: The Workshop Doha, Qatar, January 2-11, 2015

Hosted by Hamad bin Khalifa University, a member of the Qatar Foundation, our global Workshop brought 100 doctoral, post-doctoral scholars, and junior faculty together in Doha, Qatar with a core group of fifty IGLP faculty from around the world for a unique series of lectures and intensive interdisciplinary debates. The Workshop offered an intense opportunity for engagement with the ongoing research of admitted participants, as well as a collaborative setting for developing new curricular materials for a series of mini-courses or “streams.” These stream discussions continue our effort to stimulate new thinking about the legal foundations of global monetary affairs, economic development policy, global political economy and the struggle for social, political and economic justice. As in recent years, we focused particular attention on comparative law as a constituent part of global policy and legal practice, on the potential to renew the Arab tradition of law and governance, and on the modern significance of the Islamic legal tradition.

While in residence in Doha, participants review current scholarly developments, reconsider canonical texts and network with colleagues from across the world. Intensive writing workshops offer participants the opportunity to receive valuable feedback on their own research from their peers and more senior colleagues in small group settings.

At the 2015 Workshop, we continued to seek ways to deepen the network of collaboration among our Workshop alumni as well as continue to strengthen and renew our core program with new themes and new participants. We built on the momentum of our first five Workshops as we strived to develop the premier site for networked innovation in the fields of global

6 governance and economic policy among young scholars and policymakers from across the world.

The Conference and Colloquium: June 2015 at IGLP Harvard Law School | June 1 – 2, 2015

In June 2015, the Institute for Global Law and Policy (IGLP) convened its 6th annual residential program at Harvard Law School. From June 1 - 2 we convened our large global Conference, entitled Heterodox Traditions: Global Law and Policy, alongside four mini-conferences: The Corporation in Global Society; Critical Thinking About Sex, Sexuality, Gender, and Family; Monetary Design in Global Perspective; and Islamic Law and Empire, all of which were open to the public. IGLP’s June 2015 events exhibited the span of scholarship developed by members of the IGLP network and featured ongoing and new research projects by IGLP alumni and faculty and offered scholars from across the globe the opportunity to connect with colleagues, present their research to a global audience, meet others who share similar intellectual passions, and engage with one another.

In total, the June 2015 events brought together over 425 scholars from over 78 countries to share their ongoing research. During the two-day conference, we convened 80 panels to share research, engage in discussion, and collaborate on prominent issues in the fields of international law, global governance and policy.

June 2015: Mini-Conferences The four mini-conferences offered the opportunity to reflect together on collaborative research projects ongoing within the IGLP network.

The Corporation in Global Society research group seeks to promote interdisciplinary research and dialogue among scholars, policymakers and advocates interested in the corporation as an institutional form with social, political and economic significance on par the state and the family. Much of the research explores the legal structure and distributional effects of law within global value chains. On June 2, a Pro-Seminar convened entitled The Role of Law in Structures of Global Production.

Critical Thinking About Sex, Sexuality, Gender and the Family (CSSG&F) is a scholarly and activist network that brings together critically oriented legal scholars to study a broad range of human experience that is typically framed out of mainstream accounts of private and public law. It embraced interdisciplinary approaches from the economic to the ethnographic to the aesthetic. CSSG&F drew on deep resources in the critical legal studies tradition for cutting-edge work, and sought to facilitate conversations, mentorship, and scholarly production for all participants.

Monetary Design in Global Perspective focused on money as a matter of design, an institution that societies engineer and transform over time. Papers explored money, monetary systems, and monetary design at any level from theorizing elemental constructions like the unit of account, medium of exchange, and store of value to mapping modern money creation, central banks and shadow banking, and the reconceptualization of sovereign authority that may accompany the proliferation of liquidity at the global level.

Islamic Law and Empire explored theoretical approaches to Law and Empire relating to the Islamic legal tradition and both historical and contemporary Muslim societies. This min- conference generated a range of stimulating, and interdisciplinary, discussions on imperial reformulations of Islamic legality and their lasting legacies in local, regional and global legal domains.

June 2015: The Conference Streams and Panels In addition to more than 75 individual and specialized panels and mini-conferences, the June 2015 Conference also included two specialized streams, each of which combined panels pursuing related themes:

Stream: Celebrating Jerry Frug: The City as a Legal Concept Convener: Vasuki Nesiah (New York University) and Yishai Blank (Tel Aviv University),

Stream: Contemporary Legal Thought Convener: Justin Desautels-Stein (University of Colorado Law School)

Meeting: Science and Democracy Network 14th Annual Meeting Harvard Law School, Cambridge, MA ǀ June 25 – 27, 2015

From June 25-27, 2015, the IGLP supported the 14th Annual Science and Democracy Network Meeting, convened by Sheila Jasanoff, (IGLP Faculty and Kennedy School Faculty) at Harvard Law School. The Science and Democracy Network (SDN) was established in 2002 to enhance the quality and significance of scholarship in science and technology studies (STS) by training young professionals and by forging links between STS and related fields of study and practice, such as anthropology, political science, international relations, and law. The meeting consisted of six sessions: Emissaries of the Earth; Energy’s Pasts and Futures; Contested Imaginations of the Environment; Politics and Ethics of Translational Medicine; Biopolitical Subjects; and Varieties of Co-Production.

c. Academic Conferences – Foreign Partnerships

During 2014-2015, the IGLP continued to develop our dialog with European, Latin American and Asian scholars active in various international and comparative law networks. Our new regional Workshops will strengthen our collaborations with the University of Cape Town, Harvard’s Center for African Studies, University of Los Andes and the University of Sao Paulo. Our December 2014 research trip and associated events in Japan strengthened our relationship with Sciences Po, as well as opening a dialog with scholars at Keio University and Kyoto University. We continue to collaborate regularly with SOAS, Sciences Po and Melbourne University, each of whom co-sponsors portions of our June and other scholarly events.

13 In January the IGLP also hosted its 6th annual Workshop, and second in Qatar, which was sponsored by the Qatar Foundation.

e. Visiting Researchers

The IGLP accommodates a small number of Visiting Researchers and Visiting Scholars each academic year, who apply to do research at Harvard Law School for a minimum of three months. In making selections, the Committee at the Institute considers the applicant’s background, field of interest, scholarly achievements, completion of basic legal studies with high academic standing, availability of Harvard Law School faculty for consultation in the proposed research area, and English language proficiency. The 2014-2015 IGLP Visiting Researchers and Scholars were:

A partner of community legal services, Pablo Chico de la Cámara is the author of more than 200 publications on international taxation, sports taxation, environmental taxation and tax evasion besides monographs, specialized reviews and book chapters.

f. Support for Faculty and Student Affiliate Research

In addition to its Visitors Program, the Institute encourages research by HLS doctoral candidates and other Center affiliates. We have sponsored numerous informal gatherings at which HLS faculty have presented their ongoing research for comment by students and IGLP affiliates, as well as opportunities for doctoral students to present their work to colleagues and faculty. Many of our conference and workshop activities arise from student suggestions and are driven by student organizational energy. We have also occasionally supported HLS faculty research.

The Institute also draws on the expertise and experience of a wide range of Harvard Law School faculty. Christine Desan contributes regularly to our program through her work on the history of capitalism and the global economy. She leads our ongoing research on monetary affairs. Duncan Kennedy is a regular participant in our work on comparative law, globalization and social theory. We have supported clinical projects in Africa developed by Lucie White in the fields of global health policy and human rights. She leads our research on poverty and political economy. We have supported Janet Halley’s work in the fields of comparative family law, social theory and the feminist legacies of global governance. She leads our research initiatives in the global genealogy of family law and the governance practices of feminism. Gerald Frug’s work on international local government law has sparked a number of events, and we have supported his comparative research on the city as a legal concept.

Janet Halley, Allen Ferrell, Elizabeth Bartholet, Martha Field, Terry Fisher, Mark Ramseyer, Jesse Fried, Steven Shavell, Cass Sunstein, Mark Tushnet and Scott Brewer have participated in our Spanish training programs co-organized with the Garrigiues law firm. Lucian Bebchuck, John Coates, Reinier Kraakman, Robert Clark, Einer Elhauge, Guhan Subramanian, Allen Ferrell, Howell Jackson and Alan Dershowitz have all been participants in our conferences on corporate law and regulation. We work closely with the graduate program at the law school, encouraging interactions among doctoral students and their faculty colleagues, and are grateful for William Alford’s ongoing engagement and support. We are also extremely grateful for the

16 contributions so many faculty around the world make to our programming, many of whom sit on our Advisory and Academic Councils.

We have supported faculty research in and travel to Europe, and remain available, funding permitting, for faculty wishing to develop research or teaching materials consonant with our research priorities and focus.

b) Contributions to the HLS Teaching Program

The ELRC was often a source of support for HLS faculty seeking to bring European perspectives to their classrooms. The IGLP has supported speakers participating in courses taught by Lucie White, Janet Halley, Duncan Kennedy, David Kennedy and Chris Desan. We also regularly sponsor or co-sponsor student initiated academic events at HLS. We anticipate support for similar student events will continue to be a regular part of our programming.

c) Participation of HLS Students in Program Activities

a. Support for Doctoral and other Student Research

Many of the school’s candidates for the J.D., LL.M. and S.J.D. degrees are working on research projects related to the IGLP’s thematic interests. The Institute aspires to provide a focal point for their work. In 2011 we launched a new Collaborative Research Grant Program designed to provide modest funding to small groups of young scholars who are seeking to carry out substantive research on projects related to the. All projects funded through this Program are promoted as sponsored Research Initiatives of the Institute for Global Law and Policy at Harvard Law School. Collaborative Research Grants are designed for small teams of two or more scholars and typically range from $500 – $5000 per group, per year. Applications are open to current Harvard Law School students and IGLP Workshop Alumni. Preference is given to groups whose ideas or projects emerged out of the IGLP’s Annual Workshop on Global Law and Economic Policy.

To date we have awarded 19 Collaborative Research Grants helping to support the collaborative work with over 65 IGLP alumni, including current or former HLS Students Heidi Matthews, Arnulf Becker Lorca, Justin Desautels-Stein, Alejandro Lorite Escorihuela, Zina Miller and Aziza Ahmed.

From 2012-2015, we supported a Doha – Santander Grants Program supported by the Abu Dhabi affiliate of Santander Universities with the aim of supporting research by IGLP alumni and faculty pursuing innovative scholarship and research projects that emerged out of the IGLP Doha Workshop. Preference has been given to research that revitalizes the Arab and Islamic traditions of law and governance and that explores issues of comparative law, global law, and policy in Qatar, the Middle East, and the North African Region. We have awarded 33 of these grants helping to support the research of more than 30 IGLP Alumni.

In 2006-2007, the European Law Research Center inaugurated a Fellowship Program offering full and partial student and post-doctoral fellowship support to a small number of scholars pursuing research in areas related to our ongoing work. In 2007-2008, we focused our fellowship support on current HLS doctoral students and those just completing the doctorate working collaboratively with the ELRC. We were particularly interested in candidates from

17 emerging markets and developing economies. That year we awarded eight fellowships in collaboration with the Graduate Program to HLS SJD candidates. In 2009-2010 the IGLP awarded a post-doctoral fellowship to Dr. Hengameh Saberi of Iran, who completed her SJD dissertation in June 2010 on the relationship between American philosophical pragmatism and the policy science of American international lawyers. She worked with Institute throughout the year, well as with the Harvard Law School Disability Project. In 2012 Lisa Kelly (SJD Candidate, HLS) and Zina Miller (Ph.D. Candidate, The Fletcher School, HLS JD, 2007) served as Institute Fellows. Ms. Miller continued to serve as an Institute Fellow again in 2013 along new fellows Heidi Matthews (SJD Candidate, HLS) and Yun-Ru Chen (HLS, SJD, 2013). In 2014, we hosted four fellows, Julia Dehm (Melbourne Law School, Ph.D Candidate), Tomaso Ferrando, (Sciences Po Law School, Ph.D Candidate), Maja Savevska (Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Ph.D Candidate) and Lina Cespedes (University of Los Andes, Ph.D Candidate) along with Zinaida Miller and Arnulf Becker as non-residential fellows. In 2015 we will welcome the following Institute Fellows:

! Mostafa Haider (Bangladesh), Ph.D candidate, Sydney University Law School ! Onur Ozgode (Turkey/United States), Ph.D, Columbia University ! Mai Taha (Egypt), Ph.D, Osgoode Hall Law School

Former IGLP Fellow Lina Cespedes has been appointed a non-resident fellow on a part time basis for the upcoming academic year.

In addition to pursuing their own research projects each of our 2015-2016 fellows will also provide academic and program support to the IGLP.

b. Student Participation in Academic Conferences and Events

IGLP events are open to the entire HLS community. In the 2014-2015 academic year, we estimate that more than a hundred students attended IGLP events. We regularly encourage SJD students and Visiting Researchers to participate in our conferences and workshops as major presenters, commentators or lecturers.

The Institute for Global Law and Policy also supports a program providing research and travel support to a small number of scholars in areas closely related to our ongoing work. Application is open to current Harvard Law School students and Alumni of the IGLP Workshop. We award small research and travel grants to students working on serious research and writing projects related to our core activities and projects. We hope to encourage more law students to focus on the life of the mind, on interdisciplinary reading, and on developing the intellectual background to understand and contribute to critical analyses of law and social justice. Preference is given to current HLS doctoral students and alumni of the IGLP Workshop. Travel grants are limited to students who have been invited to present their scholarly work at academic conferences and are generally not available to students who have received other funding from HLS for the same trip. In most cases, the IGLP support does not exceed $500 toward the cost of travel for conferences in the US and $1000 for conferences outside the US.

Since 2012 we have awarded more than 40 travel grants.

c. Student Led Workshops

The IGLP remains a source of support for several activities organized and led by doctoral students and Visiting Researchers at the Law School. Students usually prepare presentations that are open to the public, based on their current research, or invite smaller groups of students to informal discussions. These formats facilitate ongoing debate about a selection of themes of interest to both the Institute and students and scholars associated with its work.

d) Law Reform and Advocacy

The Institute’s primary focus is academic research and teaching. We have sponsored policy roundtables from time to time concerning specific issues important to one or more of the Institute’s constituencies, in which participants from industry, the practicing profession, government, and the academy can discuss topics of common interest in a relaxed setting. Our first such endeavor was a December 1992 forum on the European Community’s proposed Database Directive. In spring of 1999 we co-sponsored a roundtable on international labor standards and two preliminary workshops in the context of the American Society of International Law’s annual meeting. We have co-sponsored research and policy workshops on economic development and law in Colombia (2008) and Brazil (2009), focusing on efforts to identify “best practice” policy innovations which might be shared through South-South collaboration. In 2009-2010 we co-sponsored, with the Initiative for Policy Dialog, a Task Force on New Regulatory Models after the Crisis at Peking University in Beijing, and a Roundtable at Harvard Law School on new challenges and conceptions of international law with the Moscow based Global Policy Forum. In the summer of 2011 we co-sponsored, with the Saranrom Institute of Foreign Affairs (SIFA) at Chulalongkorn University, a two-day policy Workshop in Bangkok on Asia in the Next Decade. In the spring of 2012 we also convened a day-long policy roundtable workshop on Global Liquidity and Capital as Legal Institutions as part of our broad ranging research initiatives with our Leading Sponsor Visa, Inc. to cover the themes of liquidity in the global economy, productive financial services regulatory structures in emerging markets, and financial inclusion.

e) Connections to the Profession

a. Continued Legal Education

We regularly work with our Leading Sponsor, Garrigues in Madrid, to mount continuing legal education programs with the participation of HLS faculty. These have included short programs in September of each year in Barcelona, Madrid and Alicante for associates enrolled in the larger Garrigues Master’s Program. In 2010 we also began collaborating with Garrigues on a

20 summer professional development program in Madrid for senior associate level practitioners. Over the last three years David Kennedy, Jesse Fried, Terry Fisher, Mark Tushnet and Scott Brewer have all delivered lectures as part of this program.

In the past, we have sponsored numerous intensive executive training workshops on the law of the European Union for practitioners, executives, and government officials. These programs feature intensive instruction, specially designed case studies, and case simulations. These workshops have been held at Harvard Law School and at other academic locations in the U.S., Europe, and Japan. The simulation method, which offers participants the chance to work in small groups on case studies drawn from actual practice experiences, has proven a particularly effective pedagogical tool in these workshops.

During 2014 - 2015 we sponsored two conferences at Harvard of particular interest to practitioners. In October we co-sponsored along with our co-founder Real Colegio Complutense our 12th Annual Business Law Seminar which focused on “Comparative Perspectives on Old and New Problems of Corporate and Financial Law.” And in July, the “Summer Course on International Taxation” addressed main issues in International Taxation, such as state aids, tax havens, anti-abuse clauses in double taxation conventions and aggressive tax planning techniques

b. Honorary Advisory Council and Academic Council

From the start, the ELRC had the good counsel and support of a terrific Honorary Advisory Council and Academic Council. Since re-launching as the Institute for Global Law and Policy in 2009 we have worked to rebuild our councils to reflect our new mandate. Over the past several years we have been particularly pleased to have welcomed Lord Mark Malloch-Brown, Advisor to the World Economic Forum, Former UN Deputy Secretary General, and Minister of State in the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Former President of Brazil, Ricardo Lagos Escobar, Former President of Chile, Alfred Gusenbauer, Former Chancellor of Austria, José Manuel Ramos-Horta, Former President of the Democratic Republic of Timor- Leste and Surakiart Sathirathai, Former Minister of Finance, Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand to our Honorary Council. During this past year we were pleased to welcome His Majesty Felipe VI, King of Spain, Aleksander Kwaśniewski, Former President of Poland and Nur Hassan Wirajuda, Former Foreign Minister of Indonesia to our Honorary Council. We also constituted a new Advisory Council to guide our academic activities, composed of academics and practitioners who have been closely involved with our work, from Harvard and other leading universities.

c. Friends and Sponsorship Program

The Institute’s Sponsorship program was established by the ELRC in 1992 to create a base of support and engagement for our work in the private sector. Sponsors participate in a wide range of our programs, receive information about the ongoing work of the Institute, and co-host seminars and other programs. Sponsors also are noted as such in appropriate Institute publications. Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen and Hamilton (Brussels, Belgium), is the current Sponsor of the Institute.

d. Leading Sponsors

The Institute’s Leading Sponsor’s program was established by the ELRC in 1992 to create a base of support and engagement for our work in the private sector. Leading Sponsors participate in a wide range of our programs, receive information about the ongoing work of the Institute, and co-host seminars and other programs. Leading Sponsors also are noted as such in appropriate Institute publications. The following organizations are Leading Sponsors of the Center: J&A Garrigues, S.L.P (Madrid, Spain), Real Colegio Complutense (Cambridge, Massachusetts-based affiliate of Complutense University of Madrid, Spain), Visa International, Santander Universities and the Qatar Foundation. One anonymous donor is also a Leading Sponsor.

e. Co-Sponsored Events

The IGLP has co-sponsored events with several of its sponsors and partners. During 2014-2015, we co-sponsored the Conference on Restructuring of the Financial System and New Negotiation Strategies and the Workshop on Workshop: The Death Penalty: Modern Research Perspectives (History, Law, Politics) with the Real Colegio Complutense. With the Qatar Foundation we co-sponsored our 5th annual 10 day workshop on global law and economic policy which was hosted for the first time in Doha. With Santander Universities we again co- sponsored our intensive residential June programs at Harvard.

23 f) Collaborations with other Schools and Departments at Harvard University

The Institute’s most significant and sustained collaboration has been with the Real Colegio Complutense at Harvard, a co-founder and supporter of the Institute’s ongoing work. The Real Colegio offers an interdisciplinary program designed to foster the exchange of scholars, students, and researchers of Harvard University, Complutense University, and other leading Spanish universities and institutions. Under the Institute’s relationship with the Real Colegio, the organizations jointly appoint participants in the Institute’s Visitor Researcher Program. The Real Colegio also participates in various roundtables, conferences, workshops, research programs, and other activities of the Institute and each year holds the Harvard-Complutense business seminar. In collaboration with the Real Colegio, we have been pleased to act as an administrative platform for the integration of Spanish researchers and scholars into the law school community. We have often cooperated with the Center for European Studies in hosting visitors. Over the last few years, as we have developed in the Latin American field, we have had the support and cooperation of the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies. In 2007 the Center awarded us a $15,000 grant and worked closely with us to organize a conference on law and development in Brazil in May and June, 2007. In 2014, the Center supported a follow-up meeting to this conference with a Grant of $10,000. Through these conferences we have convened scholars from over 10 countries for a series of workshops and research trips in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. In 2012 the IGLP launched a new research project on Expertise and Governance with the Program on Science and Technology Studies at the Kennedy School. This project aims to strengthen research linking efforts to understand the role of expertise in global governance among IGLP scholars with parallel work undertaken in the Science and Technology Studies field. The focal point for collaboration has been a series of lectures, research workshops and an inter-faculty reading group organized by IGLP Director David Kennedy and Sheila Jasanoff of the Kennedy School.

g) The Center’s Staff and Affiliates

Professor David Kennedy directs the Institute. He joined the Harvard Law School faculty in 1981 after having taught in Germany.

25 B. Plans for the Academic Year 2015 - 2016

a) Research and Scholarship

a. Summary Statement of Purpose

The Institute for Global Law and Policy (IGLP) at Harvard Law School is a collaborative faculty effort to nurture innovative approaches to global policy in the face of a legal and institutional architecture manifestly ill-equipped to address our most urgent global challenges. Global poverty, conflict, injustice and inequality are also legal and institutional regimes. The IGLP explores the ways in which they are reproduced and what might be done in response. We aim to provide a platform at Harvard for new thinking about international legal and institutional arrangements, with particular emphasis on ideas and issues of importance to the global South. Professor David Kennedy serves as Institute Director.

Much about how we are governed at the global level remains a mystery. Scholars at the Institute are working to understand and map the levers of political, economic and legal authority in the world today. The Institute focuses on young scholars and policy makers who bring new ideas and perspectives to comparative and international legal research and policy. The IGLP aims to facilitate the emergence of a creative dialog among young experts from around the world, strengthening our global capacity for innovation and cooperative research.

The Institute has built strong relationships with faculty at a wide range of foreign institutions, represented by the scholars who participate in our Advisory Councils. We also provide a focal point at Harvard Law School for faculty and students interested in new thinking about issues of global governance and international affairs. Each year, we sponsor a variety of conferences, workshops and symposia, both in Cambridge and in collaboration with our friends abroad. We regularly host both scholars and policy practitioners as Visiting Researchers and Fellows at Harvard, deepening our collaborative network among those seeking new approaches to international law, political economy and economic development from governments, international institutions, the private sector and the non-governmental sector.

The Institute is generously supported by our leading sponsors, the Qatar Foundation and Santander Universities. The Real Colegio Complutense at Harvard University was a co-founder for the Institute and continues to play a crucial role sponsor for our efforts, along with Visa International, and the Garrigues law firm in Spain. We are deeply grateful their support, and for that of our friends and sponsors at Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton in Brussels.

Our programs and initiatives provide a focal point at Harvard Law School for new thinking in the fields of comparative law, global governance and international law. Each year we support a wide range of working formats that offer opportunities to students and faculty seeking new perspectives and alternative thinking about the global situation.

26 With the support of our Sponsors, we intend to continue building a network of scholars pursuing innovative approaches to global law and policy. We will inaugurate two new regional Workshop cycles in Latin American and Africa. The Latin American program will be hosted by Los Andes University in Bogota, Colombia and the Sao Paulo University law faculty in alternate years, commencing in August 2015. The African regional Workshop will be co-sponsored and hosted by Harvard’s Center for African Studies at their Cape Town facilities, commencing in January 2016.

We will continue to sponsor lectures, workshops and conferences at Harvard as well as in collaboration with our partners and other sponsors abroad. This fall we will again welcome a group of distinguished visiting scholars and fellows to the Institute. b. Academic Conferences and Events – HLS

We will again offer our Business Law Seminar with the Real Colegio Complutense. In June we will host a seventh annual residential program focused on an advanced Workshop for scholars from the IGLP network. As in the past, we intend to support a series of initiatives on a smaller scale throughout the year. c. Academic Conferences – Foreign Partnerships

We have continued dialog with numerous foreign academic institutions cooperate with Real Colegio Complutense and with our institutional sponsors on a variety of projects.

We intend to continue to explore partnerships with a range of foreign institutions with which we have collaborated in the past, including our long time collaborators in Europe at Complutense University, SOAS, the London School of Economics, Cambridge University, Sciences Po Law School in Paris, the law faculty at Toronto University, Osgoode Hall Law School in Canada and the Universities of Turin, Perugia, Helsinki and Frankfurt, as well as a wide range of institutions across the global South, among them American University in Cairo, University of Los Andes in Bogota, and others. Over the years, we have built a talented international network of thinkers and policy makers committed to the need for new thinking about issues of global governance and law, which will form the backbone for our work. We will build on the expertise of our Honorary, Advisory and Academic Councils, expanding their membership in line with our new mandate. d. Academic Presentations

We anticipate hosting a series of academic presentations this year, most initiated by Harvard faculty or students with an interest in global affairs. We also expect to continue to have interesting academic presentations by our Institute Fellows, Visiting Researchers and Scholars. e. Visiting Researchers and Scholars

We have accepted 6 visiting researchers for 2015-2016.

27 f. Support for Faculty and Student Affiliate Research

Harvard and IGLP affiliated faculty who are interested in developing a research project supported by the IGLP are encouraged to submit funding proposals to the IGLP. In 2014-15 we supported research projects for HLS Faculty members Janet Halley, Chris Desan and Lucie White. We will continue to offer modest support for projects in 2015- 2016. b) Contributions to the HLS Teaching Program

As in the past, we expect to be available to support colleagues who wish to bring international perspectives to their classrooms in line with our research priorities and focal points. c) Participation of HLS Students in Program Activities

We expect to continue to offer opportunities for our JD and graduate students. We are proud to have been a focal point for scholarly conversation among our doctoral students with research projects relating to the Institute’s ongoing themes. We will also look to strengthen and expand our relationship with the student organizations sharing our research mission, and will continue to support student-led academic programs at the school.

a. Support for Doctoral and Other Student Research

In 2011 the Institute launched a new Collaborative Research Grant Program designed to provide modest funding to small groups of young scholars who are seeking to carry out substantive research on projects related to the core activities of the IGLP. In the ensuing years, our ability to offer grants through this program has varied with the available funding. We anticipate making modest grant funding available in 2015-2016.

In 2006 the Institute also launched a Fellowship Program, offering full or partial student and post-doctoral fellowship support to a small number of scholars pursuing research in areas related to the IGLP’s ongoing work. This year’s fellows are: Mostafa Haider (Bangladesh), Ph.D candidate, Sydney University Law School, Onur Ozgode (Turkey/United States), Ph.D, Columbia University, Mai Taha (Egypt), Ph.D, Osgoode Hall Law School and former IGLP Fellow Lina Cespedes has been appointed a non-resident fellow on a part time basis for the upcoming academic year.

Students working on topics related to our research themes are also encouraged to become Affiliates of the Center. Affiliates receive weekly and quarterly updates on European legal developments. We also serve as a conduit for students seeking links to practitioners with expertise in fields related to their scholarly research.

b. Student Participation in Academic Conferences and Events

IGLP events are open to the entire HLS community, and we continue to welcome students to all our events. We encourage our Affiliates, SJD students and Visiting Researchers to participate in our conferences and workshops as major presenters,

28 commentators or lecturers. We will also continue our program of travel grants inaugurated in 2007, to encourage HLS students to participate in conferences at other institutions.

c. Student Led Workshops

The Institute expects to continue to sponsor activities organized and led by doctoral students and Visiting Researchers at the Law School. d) Law Reform and Advocacy

The Institute’s primary focus is academic research and teaching. In past years we have sponsored policy roundtables concerning specific issues important to one or more of the Institute’s constituencies, in which participants from industry, the practicing profession, government, and the academy can meet to discuss topics of common interest. In addition we have co-sponsored research and policy workshops on economic development and law in Colombia and Brazil focusing on efforts to identify “best practice” policy innovations which might be shared through South-South collaboration. We anticipate expanding our sponsorship of these types of events, as funding permits, in the coming years. e) Connections to the Profession

a. Continued Legal Education

During 2015-2016 the Center will again co-sponsor a joint seminar on business law with the Real Colegio Complutense. The event is planned for September 2015. We will continue to participate in the executive education programs mounted by the Study Center of the Garrigues law firm.

b. Honorary Advisory Council and Academic Council

We expect to continue to benefit from the good counsel and support of our Honorary, Advisory and Academic Councils.

c. Sponsorship Program

We expect to continue the Sponsorship program, and continue to seek new ways to involve our Sponsors in our work.

d. Leading Sponsor Program

We expect to continue the Leading Sponsor’s program in the coming years, and to continue to seek new ways to involve our Sponsors in our work.

In 2007 we entered into a three year agreement with the law firm of J.A. Garrigues in Spain under which they became a Leading Sponsor of the ELRC. This agreement was renewed for an additional 3 years in 2009. In 2013 the agreement was renewed again,

29 this time for a period of 5 years. We nominate three HLS Faculty members each autumn to lecture on American law in the Garrigues continuing legal education programs. In 2011 we also began contributing to Garrigues’ professional development seminar which is held each July in Madrid.

In 2009 we entered into a three year agreement with Sovereign Bank and Santander Universities under which they became a Leading Sponsor of the IGLP and co-sponsor of our intensive residential program on global law and economic policy held each June at the law school. In 2012 we renewed our Sponsorship agreement with Santander with a new three-year agreement that began in January 2013. In June 2015, Santander Universities agreed to renew our relationship for an additional three years. In 2013 we inaugurated the IGLP/Santander Doha Grants Program with support from the Abu Dhabi affiliate of Santander Universities which provided modest funding to young scholars working on projects relating to Arab and Islamic traditions of law and governance. That funding ended in January 2015.

In 2011 we entered into a five year agreement with Visa International under which they became a Leading Sponsor of the Institute. In 2012 we announced a multi-year, broad- ranging research initiative in collaboration with Visa to explore the themes of liquidity in the global economy, productive financial services regulatory structures in emerging markets, and financial inclusion. In March 2012 we launched the initiative with a day- long roundtable discussion for a core group of researchers and policy-makers and convened a second meeting of this group as part of a policy roundtable and research mission in Bangkok in August 2012. This agreement ended in July 2015 and we are in discussions with Visa about renewal.

In 2012 we entered into a five year agreement with the Qatar Foundation under which they became a Leading Sponsor of the IGLP and co-sponsors of our intensive residential workshop programs on global law and economic policy. As part of this new partnership the IGLP agreed to co-host a residential program on global law and economic policy each January in Doha. The last Doha program was convened in January 2015.

e. Co-Sponsored Events

The Institute has co-sponsored events with several of its sponsors and partners, and will do so again during 2015-2016. f) Collaborations with Other Schools and Departments at Harvard University

As in the past, we are open to co-sponsorship of events and conferences at HLS with student organizations. In addition, we expect to continue, and to deepen, our relationship with the Real Colegio Complutense at Harvard. We have collaborated with the History of Capitalism Program at Harvard through the work of Chris Desan, and are open to continuing that relationship. With the Science and Technology Studies program at the Kennedy School, directed by Professor Sheila Jasanoff, we will continue our collaboration and joint teaching. With Janet Halley and the Program on Law and Social Thought we anticipate co-sponsoring several roundtables and discussions related to Professor Halley’s ongoing work in the field of global family law.
