DDRO 25A90 - International Law & Global Politics

This course provides an opportunity for students to acquire fundamental knowledge and critical understanding of the intricate relationship between international law and global politics, with a particular emphasis on the processes of political globalization. While the prominence of nation-states on the global stage appears to be waning, political globalization is characterized by the increasing role of intergovernmental organizations and elements of global civil society such as international NGOs, and social movement organizations. As key concepts of global politics such as power, equality, sustainability, and peace are now being challenged by this process, the seminar aims to explore how legal frameworks and political dynamics interact on the global stage. To this end, the seminar will cover theoretical foundations, key actors, sources of international law, and contemporary issues, with a focus on practical implications and case studies.
