Are foreign relations and security matters unique? Should they receive exceptional legal treatment, as they often do today? What doctrines and concepts govern the conduct of U.S. foreign relations law, and how well do they address the challenges of modern foreign affairs and national security practice? This course will consider these questions while providing a comprehensive introduction to U.S. foreign relations law. We will cover the constitutional allocation of foreign relations powers among government branches and how it has evolved over time, the intersection of U.S. domestic law and public international law, the use of force, the formation, implementation, and termination of international agreements, international trade and economic statecraft, foreign affairs federalism, and new questions related to the growing role of technology in security and international affairs.
