Course Description:
The course is part of the minor Law and Global Justice. This course introduces students to selected topics within the scope of the minor which are of particular current importance or interest. Classes are interactive, involving some lectures, but also discussions and exercises. The aim is to help students understand the kinds of law and policy problems which are important at European and International level, and to critically evaluate the responses to these. This prepares the students for advanced courses at masters level, where they may engage with these problems in more detail. This course invites students to think critically and apply a combination of legal, social and historical perspectives and it develops both writing and oral skills.
Previous current issue topic areas include: family reunification policies; space law; climate engineering and climate litigation; integration policies; state surveillance; selling citizenship; fertility tourism and migrant smuggling.
