The Centre for Law, Regulation and Governance of the Global Economy (GLOBE), launched in 2014, is a research and public engagement centre located at the School of Law, University of Warwick.

Research and teaching on the multifaceted aspects of law, regulation and governance of the global economy is a strong tradition at the Warwick Law School. Staff and postgraduate researchers at Warwick are engaging in theoretical, empirical and doctrinal scholarship in a range of fields examining the relationship between law, regulatory regimes and governance structures of international economic affairs.

Embracing a wide berth of academic and practical orientations, the Centre acts as a platform for facilitating and publicising our research and policy-related activities as well as providing a forum for interactions, discussion and collaboration between researchers at Warwick and between Warwick researchers and scholars and other interested parties from different organisations and institutions nationally and internationally.

a focal point for teaching and research

The Centre brings together staff and postgraduate students working in areas of international economic law, business and commercial law, corporate governance and financial regulation.

It provides a platform for hosting external scholars, policymakers and early career researchers in related fields at Warwick. The Centre also acts as a focal point for teaching and research on our specialised postgraduate taught and research degree programmes.

contextual and interdisciplinary approach to law

The Centre broadly embraces the Warwick Law School contextual and interdisciplinary approach to law, governance and regulation that situates questions of substantive law, policy and regulation within a broader social, economic and political environment. Our research, policy and teaching interests include the following: international trade law, international investment law, comparative private law, international business transactions, international and comparative tax law and policy, global intellectual property rights, law of natural resources, climate change and environmental law, international law and sustainable development, international financial regulation, company law and corporate governance, global competition law and international arbitration.

We seek to engage with Warwick and external scholars interested in collaborating in related fields of scholarship.
