授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course
This course is aimed to look at legal issues from a cross-cultural, comparative and pluralistic perspective. The course will comprise both a theoretical explanation of the field and its historical evolution, but will largely focus on contemporary and highly debated themes like legal pluralism, dispute resolution and access to justice, human rights, cultural defense. Notions like “law”, “justice”, “sanction”, etc. will be analyzed in context, to show students that the idea of law as merely legal order imposed from the State could be limiting if not misleading. Most of the course will be centered about instructor-administered debates among students.

Objectives of the Course
The class is designed to provide students with the knowledge and tools to understand contemporary legal problems in a multi-layered and culturally sensitive way. The course will begin by a theoretical introduction of the field, teaching basic conceptual notions and providing the students with the elementary methodological tools. Then, based upon a selection of readings, the course intends to help students develop argumentation skills. As students of law and political sciences, students should be able to discuss various topics (human rights, respect of cultures, etc.) under a technical perspective, using legal reasoning and being able to argument objectively.
