課程概述 |
The course studies foundational changes in the legal organisation of world society. We will look afresh at international law and global governance through the lens of transnational legal actors beyond the State. We will focus on the powers and impact of unconventional actors on the world stage, such as irregular migrants, legal experts, the international community, international organisations, NGOs, and the International Criminal Court. In short, we take international law beyond the state, focusing on three core questions: who is involved, in what way, and what is the result?
This course exists of 6, 3-hour sessions over a period of two weeks. Sessions are designed to be interactive, combining short lectures by the convenor with in-class exercises and discussion |

課程要求 |
Essay Assignment Details:
The course Transnational Law is examined through a written assignment (100%). This written assignment consists of one 1,500-word essay. Essays will be awarded a grade ranging between A+ to F, with B- as miminum requirement for graduate students to pass the course.
All students are asked to write an essay on the following question:
• Choose one actor from the course [Borders / the EU / any NGO of choice / the ICC / the ‘public’]:
as a transnational legal actor, how do they use and make transnational law in furthering their agenda?
Essay assessment criteria:
Your essay will be assessed according to the following criteria:
• Understanding of the topic, analysis of the problem: The essay should posit a clear argument, show legal merit, and evidence an accurate understanding of the research topic and essay question. Here, distinction is achieved by demonstrating creativity and originality. The argument of the essay should do more than just reiterate existing research: in other words, do you succeed in reflecting on the material used for your essay and in imposing your own views, can you reflect on existing academic literature and on concrete actors and events with sophistication?
• Structure and organisation: Do you present a structured and coherent argument, do the individual arguments follow logically from each other, are the arguments and materials presented relevant and incorporated to further a specific conclusion? Make sure to organise your paper efficiently. The point of the paper is to present a coherent, valid, creative argument.
• Language and presentation: Eloquence and style are rewarded. Ensure basic grammar and spelling errors are avoided.
• Reading and use of the literature:
o Use of sources: are the arguments based on a plausible interpretation of sources? Are your claims embedded in and do you demonstrate awareness of existing academic research? Do you critically reflect on the literature and take position on it?
o Referencing: Please add full and consistent references to all sources used. Please also add a separate bibliography. You can use any referencing style of choice. Note that referencing guides for example for the Oscola, Chicago, and Harvard referencing styles can be freely accessed via Google.
Submission instructions:
• Please note the word limit for the essay is 1,500 words (+/- 10% margin), excluding references and bibliography.
• On the first page of your assignment, please give your name, student number, the word count and the title of your essay.
• The deadline for submitting your essay is: Friday 27 March at 23:59.

Below under Detailed Course Outline you will find details of the required reading for each class.
Note that reading assignments are divided into three categories: required, additional and background reading. Please ensure you have prepared the ‘required reading’ ahead of each class. The ‘additional reading’ is extra and optional, and as such does not strictly require reading ahead of class. Instead students may select items from this list as starting point for further study, for example when writing the essay. Finally, some weeks have a suggestion for background reading. This ‘suggested background reading’ is also not required reading, but may be helpful as reference text for the relevant legal foundations that will be discussed in class.

參考書目 |
Also note that we will not be relying on a textbook for this course. Students wish to consult a standard text are advised to check:
Jan Klabbers International Law (CUP 2017, 2nd ed.) -also available as ebook.
The ‘suggested background reading’ refers to this text by Klabbers. Alternatively, students may seek the aid of Malcolm Shaw International Law (CUP 2008, 6th ed.) or Malcolm Evans International Law (OUP 2018, 5th ed.).
