INTS 422 : International Law

This course introduces students to the study of public international law. Traditionally called the law of nations, international law provides one mechanism by which states can avoid, manage, or resolve international conflicts. As this system of law has evolved, it has expanded to cover an increasing number of issue areas as well as a broad range of international actors. Students develop an understanding of how international law is created and implemented as well as explore the role of legal norms in contemporary international politics and global governance.
