Co-Presenter Name(s):

Area of the World from Which You Will Present: Arizona, U.S.

Language in Which You Will Present: English

Target Audience(s): Teachers in Higher Education

Short Session Description (one line): This presentation will show how to assign a class project that will help college students majoring in the field of business and likely to enter a global marketplace, to understand key international treaties affecting global business. 

Full Session Description (as long as you would like): In this presentation, I will share how a case study assigned to college students bridges legal theories to global initiatives as they relate to business in the world marketplace. In my presentation, I will show how students choose their own business venture and then research what international treaties or convention agreements can impact the contractual relationships between international businesses. For example, a student might look into how an international contract dispute over the sell of goods could be resolved utilizing the United Nations Convention on Contracts' rules.  I would also encourage a discussion among participants of best practices and class projects that are used to help students see the world from an international perspective as they relate to the student's chosen major or course topic.
