Life, Power and Resistance: Crit Perspec (L2063A)
Life, Power and Resistance: Critical Perspectives on the Post-Westphalian era
Module L2063A
Module details for 2010 cohort.
30 credits
FHEQ Level 6
Module Outline
Political dismodules of globalisation make implicit claims about the weakening of the state and the evolution, if not outright demise, of the 'Westphalian System'. This module interrogates claims about the arrival of a 'post-Westphalian' era and its transformation of the realms of war, politics and ethics. It critically examines the specific legal, institutional and subjective manifestations of this post-Westphalian era in contemporary world politics, such the international Human Rights regime, the emphasis on democratisation and the evolution of humanitarian intervention. The module ends by examining a number of theoretical perspectives on power and resistance in a global era.
