| 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." |
| Prerequisites | Students wishing to enroll in the course must write a three-paragraph application of not more than 500 words. One paragraph should discuss the student's background educational and otherwise relevant to the issue of international institutions and law. The second paragraph should indicate what the student hopes to learn from the course, and the third paragraph should discuss any career aspirations relevant to the topic. Preference will be given to WWS students conditional on writing a coherent application but non WWS students are also encouraged to apply. |
