Indiana Law students can build their own plan of study by taking classes from a number of different areas, or they can choose an area of focus.
Description International law is a controversial, contradictory field # and a growing one, whose very growth makes its controversies and contradictions more, not less relevant. This survey introduces students to the fundamental elements of international law and their application to contemporary issues in ways that bring the contested nature of international law into focus: What does it mean to make law that is international? The first part of the course covers the history of international law and examines what makes up international law # its subjects, the sources of its rules, and the assumptions and claims made about and for a system that operates outside and above municipal law. The course also explores how international law is crafted to address specific, sometimes irreducibly international problems, such as the use of force, cross-border economic activity, environmental concerns, and human rights. Throughout, the course considers the nature and function of law # which at the state level is typically hierarchical # in the flat, anarchic environment of the inter-state system. The course includes perspectives from other disciplines, such as international relations, history and political philosophy, so as to enrich students# understanding of a body of rules that is, by its nature, on the margins and frontiers of what we normally understand as law.
