Description

Over the last fifteen years, the securities markets have been transformed from institutions that primarily served domestic capital formation to global institutions that facilitate the enormous transfer of capital between nations at electronic speeds. This transformation is challenging the traditional domestic focus of securities regulation by requiring domestic regulators to regulate the offer and sale of foreign securities in their domestic jurisdictions, harmonize regulatory rules and procedures with other countries, and cooperate in the enforcement of domestic and foreign securities laws.

In the coming decades, the study of securities regulation will require an international perspective in addition to the traditional domestic focus. This course will provide an introduction to the operation and regulation of securities markets in the context of modern international transactions, with an emphasis on the US and EU securities markets. At the end of the course, it is expected that students will have a solid grounding in the international structures that increasingly harmonize securities regulation throughout the world; the nature of international securities transactions and the legal framework in which they function; modern financial players and instruments that function on a global basis; and the major issues and challenges faced by the international securities markets and regulators resulting from the globalization of the securities markets and the recent financial crisis. Using this groundwork, students should be able to continue their studies in depth regarding the various subtopics of the regulation of international securities transactions which interest them.

A prior course in basic securities regulation or permission of the professor is required to enroll in the course.
