INTA and ECON classes still avaialbe until Friday

INTA 4060
There is still space left in the joint undergraduate-graduate seminar on international law (INTA 4060/8803 MF2). The seminar meets Mondays, 9:05-11:55 AM. Below find the course description. For more information, permission, or a copy of the syllabus, please contact Professor Fabry at mfabry@gatech.edu. The seminar is normally only open to juniors and seniors and requires at least two substantive IR courses as pre-requisites, but Prof. Fabry is willing to let in other committed students as well.


The purpose of this seminar is to explore the place of international law within the larger context of world politics. It asks questions such as: What kind of law is international law and what needs does it fulfill? Where do particular legal rules come from? What role does international law play, and how does the interplay between law and politics operate, in actual decision-making of foreign policymakers and international organizations? Can international law be justifiably circumvented or defied? Can the world be changed and improved through it? The seminar is divided into two parts. The first part looks at different conceptualizations of the place of international law within international relations. The second part focuses on a number of contemporary issues in world politics with important legal dimensions, in particular those related to international security, human rights and governance in intergovernmental organizations.
