Property Law in a Globalizing Economy: Diversity or Integration?
Highlights
In this course, you'll be investigating the rules that follow global transaction needs and discover that the rules are diversified based on varying jurisdictions.
If you are interested in discussing how the worldwide legal regime should be in the era of a globalized economy, the prerequisite is the following:
- Gain vital skills to estimate what kind of rule each legal system provides an individual in the same transaction
- Finding the focal points of diversity
- Comparing a single basic rule that applies to common cases between typical jurisdictions
While these practices are the best way to enhance an understanding of how comparative law works, to further examine our topic, we will do a comparative study throughout this course to dive deeper into the material.

Furthermore, we will focus on the importance of conveyance rules. These are fundamental rules of property law that require the stability and internal harmonization of a domestic legal system. In the current era of globalized economies, conveyance rules are also exposed by the necessity to harmonize world-widely. However, how to achieve international harmonization and to what extent is a good question. In this course, you'll be given the recipe for a worldwide legal regime and several approaches to determine what extent and how international harmonization should be achieved. You will experience intriguing and extensive open-ended discussions through my interview with Professor Mooney at the University of Pennsylvania, Professor Freyermuth at the University of Missouri, Professor Dubovek at the University of Arizona, and Professor Zwanzger at the Leipzig University in Germany. Each will provide insight from their experience. By the time you complete this course, you will have gained the skills needed to do a comparative study. You should then be ready to take part in such a discussion in the future.
