【Course Objectives】

This course aims to understand contemporary topics in international law comparing them with the traditional framework of international law, based on the designated textbook, and to enhance the ability to read plain academic articles on international law correctly and precisely.

【Course Contents】

 Today’s international society witnesses new events or new problems arising on the daily basis, which provoke new discussions on the existing international law or urge us to make new norms different from, or additional to, the existing international law. Nevertheless, normal lectures on international law do not have enough time to deal with these problems.
This seminar aims to understand these advanced and contemporary topics in international law, making discussions based on the designated textbook, especially in light of the following questions: what these new topics pose against the basic or traditional framework of international law, what the essential points are, and in case there are some concrete problems, how to solve them appropriately.
In each class, we will read one chapter and there one presenter will make a presentation based on his/her handout, which should include (1) an abstract of the assigned chapter, (2) the essential point(s) of the modern topic dealt with in the chapter and (3) his/her own opinion on it, followed by a discussion among all the participants. As for the point (2), the presenter is required to compare the new topic with the basic or traditional framework of international law, making reference to normal textbooks on international law.
Participants are also recommended to take lectures on international law, but it is not a prerequisite for applying to this seminar.
