Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

International Constitutional Law (ICL) as a legal discipline combines constitutional law, public international law, European law and legal theory. The course will focus on Minorities within a multilevel constitutional reality. The relevant questions and problems will be exemplified and discussed through selected case studies.

Assessment and permitted materials

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The course serves as preparatory course for the NICLAS - Summer School 2012 (univie.ac.at/niclas). However, participation in the preparatory course is open to other interested students.
