課程概述 |
NOTICE: For those who would like the authroization code for the course-add, please attend the first week's lecture. If you are unable to attend in person due to border restrictions or quarantine, please use this google meet link to join us: https://meet.google.com/krm-wdkc-qwd
The principal objective of this class is to promote the creation among all of us who participate in it, of a community of collective and reciprocal learning, dialogue, reflection, and praxis.
This course will explore the emergence of “international poverty law” as a new paradigm which puts economic, social, and cultural rights and their negation through poverty and inequality at the center of international law and international human rights. Our focus will be on comparative analysis of the implications for law and social policy of this new framework, reflected in case studies from throughout the world ranging from the U.S and Western Europe to the Global South (Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia). This will include an assessment of the global impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on overall trends as to poverty and inequality, and its disproportionate impact on especially vulnerable groups such as racial and ethnic minorities, indigenous peoples, and women. We will explore this impact through theoretical frameworks such as intersectionality and their implications for critical legal theory and praxis.
The focus of the course will be: 1) on an overview of the state of the art of the most recent, cutting edge interdisciplinary scholarship regarding the historical origins, development, and impact, and social and cultural dimensions of the case studies we will explore, and 2) on the responses and perspectives that have been generated by social movements grounded among affected groups.

Course Objectives
The focus of the course will be:
1) on an overview of the state of the art of the most recent, cutting-edge interdisciplinary scholarship regarding the historical origins, development, and impact, and social and cultural dimensions of the theoretical perspectives and case studies we will explore regarding the origins, development, and implications of “international poverty law”, and
2) on related responses and perspectives that have been generated by social movements grounded among affected groups through legal challenges to neoliberal and ecocidal “development” policies and their impact.
Students should be able to:
Define “International Poverty Law” and its relationship to economic, social, and cultural (ESC) rights on the one hand, and to issues regarding poverty and inequality, on the other
Explain how poverty and inequality originate in, reflect and produce serious violations of human rights
Explain the relationship between Western and other revolutionary traditions and contemporary approaches to poverty and inequality as human rights issues
Explain the relationship between processes of decolonization, the Non-Aligned Movement, UNCTAD, the G-77, and the struggle for a “New International Economic Order”
Understand the impact of global debt and economic crises, the Washington Consensus, and the role of the IMF, World Bank, and WTO in restructuring Global North-South relations through neoliberal policies
Explain the relationship between processes of decolonization, the Non-Aligned Movement, UNCTAD, the G-77, and the struggle for a “New International Economic Order”, UNDP’s “Human Development” paradigm, and the Millennium and Sustainable Development Goals (MDGs, SDGs)
Explain the relationship of the above to the work of the South Centre, and to emerging groupings such as BRICS, the RCEP, and AfCFTA, among others
Analyze and discuss commonalities and differences between the case studies explored in the course, and their implications for contemporary scholarship and praxis |

Methods of Instruction
The format of this course combines lectures, multimedia presentations (Power Point, video clips, examples of media coverage of relevant issues), discussions, brainstorming sessions, readings, and group tasks. Contents will include analysis of how key issues in the course have been explored through cultural modes of expression (film, theater, literature, performance, music, art, etc.).
Texts (see detailed list below) will be divided up between required texts that all students will read, plus background or more specialized reading that will be done by rotating, small groups of students who will then present this text to the class as a whole.
--------
Assignments:
Three assignments will be given. These will be individual written assignments- 2-to-3-page essays of reflection and analysis- focused on assigned readings.
DUE DATES FOR WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS: March 4, April 11, and May 13
--------
Mid-semester proposals of final paper topic (due April 22):
2-3 pages, including brief description of proposed topic, research question and methodology, initial bibliography
--------
Presentation of final research project (10 to 15 pg. comparative case study of a specific topic related to International Poverty Law; each student will prepare a mid-term proposal of this topic for review and approval by the instructor)
Each student will be expected to present their final research project to the rest of the class. Visual presentations are expected, and each student is expected to speak at the presentation. The length of each presentation will depend on the class size.
--------
