PIA 2388 - INTERNATIONAL LAW AND POLICY

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course begins with an exploration of the history and sources of international law. We then survey the legal process and the application of international law to explore laws governing relations among states, and its expansion to non-state actors (e.g., the private individual, international organizations, NGOS, and multinational corporations).Students will learn about how and why international law is created and develop an understanding of the mechanisms and institutions of its enforcement. The enforcement of international law, its successes and difficulties, will require students to learn about, inter alia, the nature of international disputes, the subjects of international law, and the forums in which disputes are settled. Throughout the course, we will consider the emerging challenges faced in an international law paradigm including, organized violence, global markets, cultural coherency and conflict, identity and citizenship, technological evolution, and environmental regulation.
