As part of an ongoing commitment to increasing the importance of developing country perspectives within the Global Administrative Law Project, NYU co-sponsored, with the Universidad de San Andrés, a workshop focusing on GAL issues within Latin America. The workshop took place from the 9-10 March, 2007 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and dealt with the following issues:

1) Public/private ordering in the global economy: implications for national and transnational administrative law;
2) Transnational investments: treaty-based government and its implications for government, civil society and public services;
3) The internationalizations of human rights: implications for global administrative law;
4) Anti-money laundering and governance in Latin America
5) Environmental regulation and governance.

Further global administrative law workshops and conferences with developing country partners have been held in New Delhi (5-6 January, 2008) and Cape Town (18-20 March, 2008).
