GLB: Advanced Philosophy of Global Law
Provided by: TILBURG
Bachelor's degree (EQF level: 6)
The course draws on the sociology of globalization and on legal and political theory to propose a model of legal order that explains how globalization transforms law and how law gives shape to globalization processes.
The course develops these questions and issues in six parts:
(1) the passage from state-centric law to global legal pluralism;
(2) (global) legal ordering as a process of including and excluding;
(3) the contestation of emergent global legal orders by alter- and anti-globalization movements;
(4) authority and struggles for recognition in a global context;
(5) Global constitutionalism and its limits;
(6) Recapitulation of the course material.
