Jurisprudence and international law as a course explores the foundational theories, principles, and frameworks that shape legal systems and their interactions on a global scale. It delves into the philosophical underpinnings of law, including questions about justice, legal reasoning, rights, and the nature of legal obligations. The course examines classical and contemporary legal theories such as natural law, legal positivism, realism, and critical legal studies. It also introduces students to the development, sources, and application of international law, including treaties, customary law, and legal institutions like the International Court of Justice. Through case studies and theoretical discussions, the course encourages critical thinking about the legitimacy, effectiveness, and fairness of laws both within and across national boundaries. Students learn to analyze how legal norms are created, interpreted, and enforced in a global context, and how international law governs the behavior of states, international organizations, and other global actors.
