Course Description
This course explores the question of whether states have the right to demand obedience of their citizens, and do citizens have a duty to obey the law? It considers what the best answer to the "anarchist challenge" might be, alongside the relative merits and weaknesses of various accounts of political obligations. The course also examines democracy and if democracy is the only legitimate form of political authority, and what the intrinsic and instrumental values of democratic rule are. It considers if there should be limits to the will of the majority in democracies, as well as if democratic citizens have special duties, such as the duty to vote? Lastly, the course explores resistance: what are the limits of obedience in just and unjust societies? It examines if citizens have a right to civil disobedience, and what is the proper legal response to this form of protest. The course enquires as to whether citizens have the duty to engage in resistance to injustice, and under what circumstances might they resort to violent protest?

Course Description
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in promoting ideas of multiculturalism and in codifying minority rights, both at the global level, and within regional bodies. This course considers important issues relating to this development, paying attention to the European context. The course addresses three questions: (a) why minority rights have emerged as a priority issue, and how this relates to broader changes to the functions of the international community in the post-Cold War era; (b) the categories that are being used to identify different types of minorities, such as “indigenous peoples”, “national minorities”, and “migrant workers”, and how these are viewed as raising different types of challenges; and (c) the complex consequences of this process. This course provides students with an overview of the legal and political issues pertaining to minority rights at the European scale. The concepts of minority and of discrimination are scrutinized and consideration is given as to which groups constitute a minority in legal terms and how political claims are made to counter discrimination in different political regimes.

Three key themes are covered: key concepts and historical overview (introducing critical approaches to development, and providing an overview of development during the Cold War); securing development in the 21st century (addressing discourses and representations in relation to the security-development nexus, focusing on immigration, disease, drugs, and violence); and doing development in the 21st century (examining development in practice, looking especially at approaches to tackling informality and chronic unemployment, such as microfinance, and universal basic income).
