Topic 15. Law and Globalisation: The Rule of Law in Global Politics

What is the rule of law? It has traditionally been perceived as ultimately positive and neutral, however in international politics it may play a different role. How and when does it happen? Can we say that the Western rule of law is applicable for any country? When has the rule of law been used for the evil?

Recommendations for course teacher

It is recommended to use interactive teaching methods which allow for most student participation such as: discussions, case studies, role plays. It is also expected that videos, Power Point presentations, and distant video conferencing will be used for teaching.

The course is intended to be based on real-life case studies, multimedia examples and current events.

Recommendations for Students

The course format mixes lectures, group discussion, and video presentations. Students should take notes, both on lectures and on the reading, and presentations, with the intention of addressing the key themes of the course.

The readings are demanding and require intensive examination of a broad variety of issues and modes of thought. Students are encouraged to express diverse perspectives. You are likely to encounter strong opinions and it is inevitable that at least some of these opinions will make you or your colleagues uncomfortable. You will be expected to strike a healthy balance between arguing your own position on these issues, listening to others, and helping the class as a collectivity to explore how the authors that you read defend their approaches. Students and the instructors should interact with each other in a mutually respectful manner. They should articulate their ideas, concerns, arguments, critical questions and responses without alienating, marginalizing, or humiliating anyone. (For example, please avoid disrespectful ad hominem arguments, slanderous statements, hurtful stereotyping, or intentionally offensive non-verbal gesturing). I am not requiring you to be “PC” (politically correct), but rather “BC” (basically civil).
