Title Introduction to Public International Law (Lecture) Lecturer(s): Contact email address: Nico Weber Nico.weber@eui.eu Brief description International law regulates more things than we might imagine: from the sanctions we can impose on other states over how many bananas Europe can import from South America to whether states can dispose of their natural resources as they see fit. Beneath the technicalities lie ambitions to shape international order according to contesting political projects of liberal internationalism, decolonisation and the like that the fragile and ever-contested nature of international law makes easy to grasp. This course gives an overview of the substance of international law and the structures of its enforcement. It pays particular attention to the respective historical contexts and the conflicts out of which the current order and its specific norms have arisen. Students will be able to solve basic case studies as well as contextualise legal and normative claims about international order.
