Title: Special Topics in Public Affairs: International Institutions and International Law
Description: This course will focus on the continual tension between international law and international politics. It will examine the impact of this tension on issues of intervention and also on other issues of substantive importance, including environmental protection, trade, human rights, laws of war applicable to the "war on terror," and crimes of state. It will discuss recent developments affecting international institutions and recent changes in international law, such as the changing conception of "sovereignty."

One paragraph should discuss the student's background educational and otherwise relevant to the issue of international institutions and law.
