The International University College of Turin (IUC) was established in 2006 for the critical study of law and finance, as the institutional foundations of global capitalism.
The IUC is an independent institution at the center of a network of critical study of globalization, with particular attention to Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Notable visitors include US Federal Judge Guido Calabresi (Yale), Duncan Kennedy (Harvard), Günter Frankenberg & Gunther Teubner (Frankfurt), Avi Singh (New Delhi), Jan Toporowski (SOAS), and the late Stefano Rodotà, IUC president for many years.
