LAW & JUSTICE IN A GLOBALISING WORLD

Course Code: LAW2201 Credit Units: 03

Course Objective:

The title of the subject, as suggested in the UGC Guidelines dated 18 January 2013, does not seem to
restrict its scope at the level of discussion of abstract concepts and theories. The part „in the globalising
world‟ is to be taken seriously and the idea of law and justice needs to be discussed in the specific context
of globlisation. This essentially means creation of a better understanding of international law as well as an
analysis of how and to what extent the existing and emerging legal framework at the international level
ensures justice. This also includes study of institutional framework at the global level relevant in the
context of global justice.

The issue of overlapping with some streams of specialisations such as human rights, and humanitarian
law is not critical because these branches of law are not to be discussed in detail. Instead it will be
discussed from a restricted angle – justice perspective. Moreover, the theories and concepts need to be
linked with the contemporary reality and discussed in the light of these issues that will help the students
to understand as well as analyse it effectively. In this background, the broad objectives of the subject are-
Introduction and discussion of concepts and theories relating to law and justice in the specific context of
the globalising world and examine whether international law promotes justice or perpetrates injustice. The
students will also learn about the changes that may be advocated (if needed) to ensure a world order that
ensures justice for all

Course Contents:

Module-I: Legal theories relevant in globalisation context

1. Globalisation – concept, history and development -various dimensions of globalisation (economic,
cultural etc) – legal dimension of globalization.
