Abstract
This course is designed to provide an overview on global governance and to understand its conceptualisation through the interdisciplinary perspective of international law, international relations, and international organisations. Through the multidimensional lens, global governance is conceived as a framework of analysis to study the complexity of global processes involving multiple actors that interact at different levels of interest aggregation. We look at the origins, definitions, and characteristics of global governance; analyse the establishment of different international regimes and examine different thematic areas of governance practices and interactions on the global area; discuss the different conceptual inquiries and innovations; examine the specific of problem-solving arrangements and mechanisms of hard rules of international law and treaties, and soft law of communiqués and declarations.
Learning Objectives
- The aim of this course is to explain the multidimensionality of global governance which is conceived as a framework of analysis for studying global processes of forming international regimes involving a number of actors, including state authorities, intergovernmental organisations, nongovernmental organisations, private sector entities, and other civil society actors. The course answers the question how global governance and international law become core instruments for nation-states to achieve national goals and to solve common problems. The course also poses questions: how nation-states can create international regimes by using international law, treaties, conventions, and other juridical tools? and how do nation-states accommodate divergent interests in areas such as climate change, world trade, international crime, or human rights?
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Provide an overview on global governance and international law from a historical and contemporary viewpoint. Describe a range of theoretical perspectives, concepts, and empirical applications of international relations and international law. Explain the nexus between global governance and international law.
- Through the power-oriented assumptions, explain the development of economic treaty regimes. Examine the global trade regime and national compliance. Analyse interstate and transnational dispute resolution processes, challenges of state actions, and international legalisation. Examine a central concern of global security with the projection identified with the use of force and arms control treaties.
- From a realist and an ideational theories of international relations explain how nation-states establish human rights regimes, and what is the role for international committees and courts in maintaining these regimes. Explain how governments hold accountable and exercise human rights to their citizens. Explain why governments favour mandatory and enforceable human rights obligations, and how such processes correlate with nation-states’ political sovereignty.
- Explain the development of international regimes concerning environment and wildlife protection, climate change, oil pollution, etc. Analyse the establishment of an integrated compliance system to achieve global sustainability goals.
