Learning outcomes
The course provides an introduction to the study of international law
Course contents
The course is in two parts. The first part introduces to the salient features of international law, emphasizing from the very outset the poly-systemic nature of the international legal order, as it is played out at the level of sources, subjects, adjudication and law enforcement. Special attention is devoted to means of law enforcement (sanctions) supplied either by general international law or by special regimes or subsystems. The second part traces a historical profile of contemporary international law understood as an academic discipline and political project (from the second half of the 19th century) and offers a panorama of the main approaches and methods coexisting today within the field.
