Course Description
This course introduces students to the UN Sustainable Development Goal (UNSDG) 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions) within the context of ongoing rule of law efforts amongst participating nations in the Belt and Road Initiative. It covers various governance strategies to promote those reforms in the realm of economic relations, development finance and security management. It offers a fresh insight into how relational governance continues to play an important role towards rule-based governance strategies. In addition, it pays particular attention to the underlying factors and relationships that determine whether or not international norms dealing with economic, development and security relationships can gain root, and thus, the likelihood that those norms will govern their relationships in the long-term.
