Omschrijving	The module is intended to provide students insight into the basics of law in an international context. It will allow the students to understand the specific characteristics of public international law and European Union law as separate legal systems, but in addition to that it will focus on how the various legal systems interact with each other and with domestic legal orders. By choosing a core theme, case or situation, we will study the way in which international law and European law contribute to create stable environments for tackling challenging transboundary problems such as economic cooperation, migration, protecting the ecosystem or peace and security. This study will have an interdisciplinary as well as practice-oriented approach in which students are expected to contribute to socratic discussions from their respective backgrounds. Basic knowledge of international and European law is essential in understanding international processes of cooperation and decision making, both in a public (governments, international organisations) and in a private (business) context.
