| Overall Educational Objective | To learn the psychological assumptions of human nature that derive the newly emerged forms of transactions, interactions and relationships that global capitalism prompts and to develop perspectives on human nature and their interactions with global nature of transactions and interactions. | ||||
| Course Description | The course aims to provide students with a basic knowledge of the mismatches that occurred within national, and international frameworks that support legal transactions based on psychological understandings of human nature, freedom and governance. This course will first substantively focus on underlying psychological assumptions of capitalism, globalism and nation state. Then, it will present some of the legal and governance issues that emerge as a result of such assumptions and enable the students to identify and discuss where mismatches occur. | ||||
