MSFS-564 Political Challenges to International Law
Spring only
The purpose of this course is to explore contemporary international law as it addresses the political challenges of the foreign policy process of the United States Government. The course is designed to improve students’ understanding of what international law is against the background of the realities of the processes through which US foreign policy is made. First, the course explores alternative models of the making of US foreign policy and the key institutions in the US foreign policy process, including the Presidency, the Congress, the National Security Council, the State Department, the Defense Department, and the intelligence community. The course uses simulations of “Principals Meetings” to encourage students to apply their understanding of international law and the policy process and players to a wide variety of issue areas, including intelligence activities, covert action, international terrorism, and military uses of force.
