Kommentare/ Inhalte: The seminar’s intention is to revisit the theoretical and methodological foundations of Public International Law, thereby diving deeper into the diversity of different approaches that have been developed to address the nature, formation, functioning and improvements of Public International Law. The seminar is going to cover both classic theories and newly developed approaches explaining international legal dynamics. Students have the possibility to give a short presentation in English on the topic of their choice. Teaching language will be English. The seminar addresses all students of all faculties with an interest in Public International Law. Students from the first semester onwards, Erasmus students and those students feeling uncomfortable with speaking English are explicitly invited since neither previous knowledge of the subject nor excellent English skills are required. The seminar is a continuation of last semester’s seminar "Sustainable Development in the Dynamics of Public International Law" that was created as a continuous seminar within the scope of Public International Law. All impulses and/or suggestions - especially concerning the proposed topics - are welcome. Furthermore, by attending the seminar and giving a short presentation students can obtain a proof of foreign language proficiency ("Fremdsprachennachweis"). It is possible (but not mandatory) to write a term paper ("Seminararbeit") either in German or in English. It is also possible to write a major thesis ("Examenshausarbeit" – SPB X). Language of the major thesis can only be German. The seminar will take place on Wednesdays during the semester from 6-8 p.m. A detailed schedule will be forwarded to all participants after registration and topic assignments will be completed. If you would like to give a presentation, please indicate two possible topics for presentation. Suggested presentation topics: 1. Natural law in the context of public international law 2. Grotian approach to international law 3. Realism in public international law 4. Global Constitutionalism 5. New Haven School 6. Deconstructionism approaches to international law 7. Post-Colonialism in the international legal discourse 8. Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) 9. Feminist theories to public international law 10. Critical race theory and international law 11. Thinking queer in the context of international law 12. Law and economics approaches to public international law (Rational Choice, Game Theory) 13. Marxist approaches to international law 14. An empirical turn in public international law 15. Transnational legal process (Koh)
