This course examines a number of topics and issues in international politics from a normative perspective. We will look at current theories on justice in international relations, international distributive justice, reparative justice, migration, national self-determination, and global institutions of justice. Students will be introduced to some of the most important concepts in international political theory including sovereignty, duties of assistance, humanitarian intervention, and human rights.
The various normative problems discussed will be related to actual international conflicts past and present. Examples that might be used for illustrating the relevance and application of theories of international political theory are debates like climate justice or just war theory. For this year the focus will be on climate justice.
The module will have the structure of a seminar and will be based on classroom debates. The students will be expected to have read the relevant texts in advance and participate in discussion.
