Sustainable Developmont and Global Justice (SUSTJUCTICE).

There is an acknowledgement in law and development studies that institutions, including law, matter for development. There is 'a massive surge in development assistance for institutional reform projects'. Lawyers, 'who often conceive of themselves as institutional designers', hence become important actors in development (Trebilcock and Mota Prado 2014: 27-31). However, lawyers have often been given a rather technical training, and are often not able to understand and oversee the broader implications of legal engineering for questions of sustainable development and global justice.The ITP Sustainable Development and Global Justice (SUSTJUSTICE) aims to offer a comprehensive teaching programme based on the research lines of the University of Antwerp Law and Development Research Group (LDRG). It responds to the demonstrated interest and need of participants from the South in comprehensive and focused training on the role of law in pursuing sustainable development and global justice in a development context.
