This offering will explore the role of the state and sovereignty in contemporary multilateral affairs, with a focus on struggles concerning the purported breakdown of the “rules-based international order,” efforts to challenge the dominant approach to the doctrine of sources, and resistance against foreign interference. We will read primary and secondary sources, think critically about legal and political claims, and explore potential futures for what a “pro-Global South approach” to international law and institutions of global governance might look like.
