Course Description:
This course provides an introduction to the basic principles of public
international law as it applies in our modern world. It will focus on how the
governance of our global system is being shaped through international law and
policy. We will analyze the interface of international law and governance
through the prism of such issues as internal unrest, dispute resolution,
climate change, globalization, development, terrorism, use of force, pirates,
cyberlaw, torture, human rights, genocide, the United Nations, the World Bank
and non-governmental organizations. Students are encouraged to follow global
events during the course to enhance their understanding. What are the
limitations of international law? How can it improve our world? How does it
work and how should it work? Issues will be explored through interactive
analysis of actual cases of international law.
