A comprehensive examination of the legal frameworks governing international financial institutions (IFIs) such as the African Development Bank, Bank for International Settlements, Group of 20, Financial Stability Board, International Monetary Fund, Paris Club, Trade and Development Bank, or the World Bank.

From a South African perspective, this fifteen-hour course especially examines the complex relationship between the IFIs and South Africa as one of Africa's largest and most influential economies. In recent years, the country has relied on support from these institutions to address issues like the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, energy challenges, and persistent inequality.

Participants will explore the legal foundations, governance structures, and the regulatory mechanisms through which these institutions operate. Through case studies, policy analysis, and critical discussions, participants will assess the impact of IFIs on the global financial system, developing countries, and international economic law. The course also explores current debates on IFI reforms and their role in addressing global challenges such as climate change, poverty reduction, and financial crises.
