EU and Indo-Pacific: Sustainability, Security and Trade

EUIndoPac Jean Monnet Module introduces an law teaching program on EU’s engagement in the Indo-Pacific. The program unfolds  around three key themes relevant for the strengthening of the EU’s role in this region:

• (1) improving sustainability;
• (2) enhancing security;
• (3) promoting free and fair trade.

The Module is based at the UCLouvain Saint-Louis Bruxelles. It relies on the expertise of two lead lecturers with extensive competence in EU and international law and policy and practical experience in the Indo-Pacific. It primarily targets students at the USL-B in Laws, Political Sciences, and European Studies. Secondary target audience involves civil society, policymakers, and students who cannot otherwise access EU studies.

The aims are threefold : (1) improve student knowledge on EU regulatory responses to the environmental and climate crises and related security issues in the Indo-Pacific, particularly focusing on trade and global supply chains, green investment, security and ocean governance, proper understanding of which is becoming increasingly important given the EU’s ambitious agenda for the Indo-Pacific; (2) incorporate advanced higher education pedagogy in USL-B; (3) promote trans-national cooperation, through student exchange and cooperation between universities, giving foreign students the opportunity to get acquainted with the EU.

The Module will start in academic year 2023/24 and will deliver 153 hours in total over three years (2024-2027). It will support the introduction of a new perspective on the study of the EU in the Indo-Pacific in the field of European studies in Europe. By encompassing trans-national cooperation and transdisciplinary approach (environmental science, law and economics, climate regulation, trade, and investment law), this Module will yield significant lessons for students and policymakers.
