[Number] 7800 - 6 [Semester] 11582015 Fall [Description] This course explores the intellectual foundations of contemporary international law. We will consider competing approaches to international order developed by European writers of the 16th -18th centuries (Vitoria, Gentili, Grotius, Pufendorf, Hobbes, Kant) and their modern successors, including fundamental concepts of sovereignty, anarchy, society, rights, and law in international relations; the approaches to imperialism and colonial expansion taken in European and 19th century U.S. continental and extra-continental expansion, and the interaction of international law with colonial, post-colonial/TWAIL, and feminist projects; the vitality of alternative models of international order and alternative histories of international law (particularly East Asian approaches, now of renewed practical importance with the rising power of China and controversies in the East China and South China seas); the imagination and problems of international law as law, academic discipline, and practice; and what it means to be studying and practicing international lawyer now.
