Summary
How do nations cooperate or clash when their interests don't align? What role do non-governmental organizations and transnational actors play in shaping global policies? How do states balance national interests with international obligations? How does international law address global challenges? In this course, we will dive into the intricacies of international law and policymaking, exploring the legal frameworks that govern the relationships between states and various international and global entities. By investigating critical global issues through lectures, case studies and discussions, students will develop the tools to critically assess international legal issues and understand the forces that shape policy decisions on the world stage. The course will culminate in a project where students will analyze a current international legal issue and propose policy solutions, synthesizing the knowledge gained throughout the course. Whether you aspire to work in international law, policy-making, or global advocacy, this course will provide the intellectual foundation and practical insights to engage meaningfully with global legal and policy challenges.
