Law Clinics to make Global Economic Regulation work for everyone
TradeLab is a global network of legal clinics, initiated at the Graduate Institute by Professor Joost Pauwelyn in 2009, with sites located across the globe. It aims to empower countries and smaller stakeholders to reap the full development benefits of global trade and investment rules by supporting them to answer important trade related questions through pro bono legal clinics and practica. These legal clinics and practica are implemented by law students, with support from academics and legal practitioners.
CTEI hosts the Geneva based Law clinics, part of Trade Lab.
While globalization and robotics, “globotics”, will eventually make a better world, they are today creating competition for service-sector jobs that is coming faster than most believe and in ways that will seem incredibly unfair. If the displaced office workers join with the displaced factory workers, the result could be a disruptive upheaval. This book argues that workers need to prepare for the future of work in new ways, and governments regulate the pace and unfairness of the competition from globots.
"With its focus on the scale, speed and scope of technological transformation, and its impact on employment, this book breaks new ground."
Gordon Brown, UK Prime Minister, 2007-2010
"Richard Baldwin has written the best book yet on the new economic era we are entering. Any worker, company or government who doesn’t want to be left behind should read and consider his arguments."
Lawrence H. Summers, Ex-Secretary of the US Treasury, ex-President of Harvard
