Overview
Key facts
The purpose of this course is to engage students with international affairs through the study of the legal frameworks which govern them, situating those frameworks within the material and cultural context of international politics. Focusing on controversial and significant issues in contemporary international politics, including recent examples of the use of force, international economic integration and the promotion and protection of human rights and the environment, you will actively engage in these topics through key readings, role-plays, and question and answer sessions.
By the end of London School of Economics and Political Science's International Law - Contemporary Issues course, you will have a firm understanding of the structure and operation of the international legal order, having explored focused case studies including the war on terror, the international legal prohibition against torture, and the use of force in Iraq, Libya and Syria.Programme Structure
