LAW 000/4210 - Law and Global Governance in the 21th Century (3 cr.)



Description
The seminar provides a survey of contemporary institutions of global governance with a particular focus on the role of law. It starts with a historical overview of past institutional experiments to regulate the complexities of international relations before the 19th century, during the inter-war period, the post WWII institutional architecture for global governance, and into the 21st century. Students will then be guided through a virtual tour of different institutions such as the UN system, International Financial Institutions, the World Trade Organization, the European Union, other regional organizations (e.g., African Union, Arab League). The seminar will also explore the role of different actors (e.g., states, multinational corporations, international organizations, civil society) in global governance. The seminar will then engage the students in guided research work to explore contemporary global governance challenges such as global warming, migration, poverty, public health emergencies, or mass atrocity.
