PS 317 - International Law and Diplomacy

Credits: 4 credits

The first section of the course identifies fundamental principles of international law and explores the historical development of these laws.  This includes study of treaties and conventions as well as rules of diplomatic relations between states.  The second section of the course engages with the “enforcement” problem in international law.  Given the inherent conflict between national sovereignty and international law, we explore variables and conditions that best facilitate uniform and effective enforcement of treaties and conventions.  The third section of the course studies specific cases and topics of international law and diplomacy.  These include international human rights law, the emergence of the International Criminal Court, trade law and the World Trade Organization, and diplomacy in an age of declining U.S. hegemony.  The course concludes with an evaluation of the current state of international law and diplomacy.
