Course summary

This course will enhance your understanding and challenge preconceptions of the complex legal and political nature of international law-making and governance. Taking a dynamic and responsive approach to contemporary global challenges, it aims to explore the often-competing concepts that infuse the subject of international law. You’ll develop a clear and specialised knowledge of the most pressing and challenging aspects of this area of law. You’ll examine topics such as the use of force, climate change, global migration, and international justice. You’ll also explore the right to development, which raises urgent questions about the effectiveness of current governance and regulatory regimes worldwide. You’ll have the opportunity to: critically examine and apply the policies, theories, principles, and provisions of international law to novel problems, real-world, and hypothetical scenariosconsider the impact of legal and political institutions, such as the UN Security Council and the International Court of Justiceinvestigate the dynamics of power relations among states and between states and non-state actors. International law is increasingly a concern for a wide range of stakeholders, whether public or private bodies, international or national organisations and institutions. Given contemporary and future global challenges – such as protecting human rights and security and conserving natural resources – the significance of global governance, as well as its contestation, is growing in a multipolar world. You’ll benefit from the expertise of leading academics in a stimulating research environment. Our research groups include: Centre for Business Law and Practice (CBLP)Centre for Criminal Justice Studies (CCJS)Centre for Law and Social Justice (CLSJ)Centre for Innovation and Research in Legal Education (CIRLE).
