The Sixth German-Arab Summer School in Law and Economics is particularly interested in highlighting the underlying structures and processes of such changes. Against the background of these new circumstances, the Summer School 2017 offers introductory lectures and workshops in the field of law and economics as well as specific topics addressing, among others, the following questions: How can legal matters be studied from an economic point of view? How do institutions shape the economic foundations and vice versa? How does religion contribute to the legal and economic framework in a given country? What are the legal and socio-economic implications of refugee crisis? and in what regard can terrorism and copy right be analyzed from an economic and legal perspective?.
