Description: This course treats themes from the history of public law and international law (treaties, war and peace, alliances, diplomacy, constitutional order). The aim of this course is not pure transfer of knowledge, but the stimulation of understanding and the development of legal reasoning through historical examples. A first partim (8 hours) treats international legal doctrine from the Middle Ages to the present. A second partim (8 hours) treats cases on the European Balance of Power in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, using published treaties and diplomatic correspondence. A final partim (8 hours) treats the European balance in the nineteenth century, with a strong emphasis on the Vienna Congress (1814-1815).
