This scholarly Colloquium each Spring examines major theoretical issues in international law. In Spring 2012 it will focus on issues of change (and stability) in international institutions and governance, as well as the interaction between institutions.

Students are assigned to write three reaction papers which go to the speakers ahead of the public discussion sessions, as well as completing a short related research paper, and also meet separately as a group in an intensive advanced international law seminar with the instructor. The research paper (or the much longer final paper preceded by a full draft due earlier, if the "substantial writing" option is chosen) will be turned in towards the end of the semester. Some prior knowledge of international law or legal philosophy or international relations theory is essential.

The speaker sessions are open to the entire NYU community - all welcome.  Papers are available approximately one week before each session, and should be downloaded from the website and read in advance.
