Institution:

The Citadel

Subject:

Political Science

Description:

This course is an introduction to public international law for students of international relations. The primary purpose of this course is to enhance students' understanding of the ways in which international law orders international politics. Why do sovereign states voluntarily forfeit maximum independence and agree to constrain their behavior in the international system? How and to what extent has international law been used in resolving conflicts between nations? How and to what extent has it facilitated the achievement of common goals? What is the relationship between international law and states' foreign policies? Emphasis throughout the course is on the substantive rules of the law, the relationship between law and politics, and on the historical episodes that illustrate the issues.
