Business Law and Economic and Social Development
This project aims at studying the normative field that rules the business environment. As it is well known, circulation and distribution of wealth occur in a sphere largely governed by law, in which legal norms and institutions contribute to or discourage economic growth, as well as impact how the wealth produced in a given society is appropriated by different groups. In this sense, the study of the tax system, corporate governance and corporate social responsibility, democratization of capital markets and transnational economic relations, seeks to contribute to the understanding of legal mechanisms related to sustainable development and the expansion of opportunities of social and individual autonomy.
