本課程的目的在於引發學生對全球治理所衍生法律應如何回應的思考興趣，並培養學生就全球治理於何種程度內衝擊現有以國家為中心所建構的法律思維的分析能力。除第一次上課導論外，課程分為三大部分：第二與三次上課將集中討論務實主義取向的回應方式，第四至第七次上課則環繞各種「憲法化」 (constitutionalisation) 策略的討論，第八次則對於全球治理下的法律、權威與主權等問題進行批判與反思。

As governance displaces government in the debate over the postnational political world, various proposals emerge to frame global governance in legal terms, envisaging the decline of the state-centric paradigm of law. Yet, the question whether global governance is the culmination of the rule of law or suggests the end of law remains contentious. The objective of this module is to equip students with the ability to critically analyse the distinct legal strategies looming from the principal theoretical approaches to tame global governance with the rule of law. In addition to the introductory session (session 1), the module will first introduce non-constitutional, pragmatic legal responses to global governance (sessions 2 & 3). Following discussion of varieties of constitutionalisation strategies (sessions 4-7), the module will conclude with critical reflections on the challenges global governance poses towards our understanding of law, authority, and sovereignty (session 8).
