Global Security Governance: International Law and Institutions (GMA-L247)

Fall 2025 · GMA L247 · Tufts University · 1.5 credits · Undergraduate

Focuses on the law and practice of global governance institutions in the field of peace and security. It introduces the concept of global governance and the various institutions involved: formal inter-governmental organizations (such as the United Nations); informal inter-governmental institutions (such as the G-20); non-governmental actors (both NGOs and business); and public-private partnerships. The course then turns to selected issue areas: the use force, conflict management, human security, and health security. In each issue area, we look at institutions, law, and practice – painting a picture of how global governance actually functions.
