PSCI 329 - Principles of International Law

4 credits
This course introduces the student to the main principles, key texts and most famous cases of the international legal system. Aimed specifically at the liberal arts context, the course approaches these legal materials historically and geographically. The first half of the semester sets out the ramifications of the equal sovereignty of nation- states in this state-centered system. The second half explores the reach of these sovereign states into other states’ territories, into the oceans around us, and the universe beyond. The tensions between this system of sovereignty and recent developments in international commercial, environmental and human rights law are a recurring theme of the course. Offered annually.
