Kommentare/ Inhalte:
This course introduces students to current issues of global maritime governance and security. It raises a series of questions which the discipline of International Relations has only recently begun to address. Questions the course will deal with include, but are not limited to, the following ones: Who owns the North Pole? Who has access to submarine resources, such as oil, gas and fish stock, which form part of what is known as the ‘common heritage of humankind’? Is it legitimate for states to claim exclusive economic zones of 200 nautical miles around tiny islands in the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Ocean? How do and how should the international community deal with the 'problem' of piracy? How does boundary management work on the high seas?
During the first part of the seminar we will discuss relevant parts of IR theory, such as the role of norms and the connection between international law and politics. We will then explore recent debates in global maritime governance along the questions posed above following a ‘problem based learning’ approach. As IR is a predominantly land-based discipline, not much attention has been given to any political issues off shore. With a view to discover the cutting-edge of contemporary research in maritime governance, students will be given time to explore questions they are interested in the most. This exploratory phase shall be used to devise small research projects. These projects may form the basis of the Hausarbeit which forms the relevant assessment at the end of the semester. The Hausarbeit can be submitted in either German or English.
Lernziel:
By the end of the course, students will have gained relevant knowledge of the current state of the art in the field. They will be able to critically assess maritime governance in terms of its construction in inter- and transnational institutions with the help of recent debates in the theories of international relations.
Vorgehen:
The seminar will be taught with a mixture of lecture-like sessions, 'normal' seminar interaction around a critical discussion of texts as well as presentations. The seminar will also draw on 'problem based learning' approaches to provide sufficient room for students to explore their own interests in relation to the topic and devise a small research project.
