Global Governance and International Law is designed to help you integrate your knowledge of globalisation and use that knowledge to analyse and plan for global governance and law across political, military, economic, technological, social and cultural domains. This course will enhance your appreciation of globalisation both in theory and in practice and equip you with the language and skills to analyse identify, define and articulate good governance principles in international professional work contexts.

You will learn to think systematically about global governance processes and to evaluate the governance capacities of intergovernmental and international nongovernmental organisations. You will also explore new sources of global legal and political authority. You will develop your critical thinking skills in this course to the point where you are able to debate contemporary global governance issues, including international legal issues, at a high level of theoretical abstraction but at the same time explain these issues in a language accessible to a lay audience.
