The course covers substantive and methodological aspects of both legal and interdisciplinary research relevant for doctoral researchers on the topic of law and governance of the marine Arctic, with specific reference to law of the sea and international environmental law.
The course will train doctoral students on reading and understanding law of the sea in context, by combining doctrinal approaches focusing on sources (eg the Law of the Sea Convention, and other legal instruments, including the role of soft law and other cooperative arrangements) and interpretation (with focus on systemic integration), with a variety of legal theories and methodologies that will help students locate and understand law in relation to other fields of inquiry (eg geography, history, ecology and international politics). The course covers topics that are of direct relevance to individual students’ doctoral projects and the students should be able to refine their research questions as well as develop the analytical framework for their research projects.
Participants in the course must be admitted to a PhD program in law.
