Cíle předmětu
This subject offers an inter-disciplinary approach to the studies of law in order to analyse how our understanding of the nature of the law is shaped by our particular disciplinary perspectives. Students will be challenged to think outside the box of their discipline (particularly the law) within the core modules and to develop their discursive skills in relation to other disciplines in social sciences. It examines the law as it cuts across themes central to other disciplines and examines how law permeates social, political, economic, and other institutions and discourses. Upon completion, students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of disciplinary concepts, demonstrate an understanding of issues of diversity in the field, think critically about issues in the discipline, and demonstrate effective reasoning skills in certain areas of politics and sociology, ethics and philosophical jurisprudence, as well as economics and political economy. The course develops theory-driven answers to questions of law, society and public policy.
