About this course The Arctic: a region of frigid waters, tundra, and prolonged periods of light and darkness. While it may seem desolate, the Circumpolar North holds a wealth of resources and opportunities for nations and the Indigenous peoples who live there.

Asylum and Refugee Law

What is asylum? What is the principle of non-refoulement? Who should be recognized and protected as a refugee? These notions are complex. Learn to understand and apply them! About this course What is asylum? What is the principle of non-refoulement? Who should be recognized and protected as a refugee? These questions are both ancient and contemporary. Whether you are a decision maker, a judge, a lawyer, a human rights activist, you will have to answer these questions. The answers are complex. They require precise theoretical and practical knowledge of national, regional and international law. The 1951 Geneva Convention on Refugees will enable you to master these questions. This Convention remains the cornerstone of international refugee protection. It is at the heart of this online course. You will analyze in detail the principle of non-refoulement and the definition of a refugee. This definition will allow you to identify, like a fingerprint, the people who, legally, should be recognizedas beneficiaries of refugee status and international protection. Using a conceptual tool, the three-scale theory, you will analyze in a rigorous and structured manner each distinct element of the refugee definition (persecution, risk, proof) as well as, in a comprehensive approach, the definition as a whole. By confronting theoretical analysis with practical situations, you will see that, if correctly interpreted, the Geneva Convention remains effective and still allows to this day the protection of many fugitives or refugees ( Flüchtling, réfugiés ). You will also follow the refugee’s journey—like the maze that the image above also represents—to measure the need for a solid knowledge of the law and the procedures. Beyond law, you will understand the value of an interdisciplinary approach, in particular when measuring the credibility of an asylum seeker’s narrative. You will examine the importance of regional, subsidiary or complementary protection. Finally, you will look at future challenges, such as the issue of climate refugees. In this course, Asylum and Refugee Law, you will learn whether or not migrants can be returned to another country, whether or not they should be included in or excluded from the refugee definition, and whether or not to challenge the decision on someone’s refugee status. You will do all of this by developing a rigorous legal reasoning.

But when will the law refuse to honour a promise? What happens when one party does not hold to their part of the deal? We are exposed to contracts in all areas of our life — agreeing to terms when downloading a new computer program, hiring a contractor to repair a leaking roof, and even ordering a meal at a restaurant. Knowing the principles of contracts is not just a skill needed by lawyers, it illuminates for everyone a crucial institution that we use all the time and generally take for granted. This contract law course, with new materials and updated case examples, is designed to introduce the range of issues that arise when entering and enforcing contracts.

U.S. Political Institutions: Congress, Presidency, Courts, and Bureaucracy

U.S. Political Institutions: Congress, Presidency, Courts, and Bureaucracy - Examine the inner workings of the three branches of the U.S. Federal Government About this course How do the three branches of government operate? How is power shared among Congress, the president, and the Supreme Court? What role is played by federal agencies that have no direct constitutional authority of their own? In this part of our series on American Government, we will examine the separation of powers among the three branches of government, and the role of voters, political parties, and the broader federal bureaucracy. We’ll explore how “the people” affect the behaviour of members of Congress, what constitutes success in a president’s domestic and foreign policies, and how much power an unelected judiciary should have in a democratic system. Highlights Duration 4 Weeks Long Time Commitment 2-4 hours per week Pace Self-paced Subject Social Sciences Collection U.S. Government Course Language English Video Transcript English Difficulty Introductory Credit Audit for Free Add a Verified Certificate for $99 Platform edX, created by Harvard University & MIT (USA) What you'll learn How Congress members are influenced by their constituencies What causes political polarization between Republicans and Democrats How Congress’s structure limits progress on significant issues How executive orders expand the powers of the presidency Why presidents are less constrained in foreign policy than in domestic policy How federal agencies promote and protect their programs The influence of politics on Supreme Court decisions Syllabus Week 1: Congress & Constituency In this session, we will examine how their constituencies affect the behaviour of members of Congress, including their influence on the type of bills that members are most likely to support. The 2014 farm bill will be used to highlight constituency influence. Week 2: Congress & Party This session will describe the role of parties in Congress and explain the developments that have contributed to party polarization within Congress. We’ll examine the 2013 government shutdown as a case study in party conflict. The session will also explain why Congress’s fragmented structure makes it difficult for Congress to take the lead on major national issues while making it perfectly suited to taking on scores of smaller issues at once. Week 3: Presidents & Domestic Policy This session will examine the factors that affect presidential success in the area of domestic policy. Several factors will be mentioned, but the focus will be the partisan makeup of Congress—whether a majority of its members are from the president’s party. The 1964 food stamp bill and the 1996 welfare bill will be used to illustrate the relationship between presidential success and Congress’s partisan makeup. Week 4: Presidents & Foreign Policy In this session, we’ll examine the president’s comparative advantages—for example, control over information—in the making of foreign policy. We’ll look particularly at the president’s war power and at executive agreements—treaty-like arrangements authorized solely by the president. President Bush’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003 will serve as a case study. Week 5: Federal Bureaucracy In this session, we’ll examine the federal bureaucracy—its structure, staffing, and operation. We’ll also explore the challenge of holding the bureaucracy accountable for its actions. The Air Force’s F-22 fighter jet program will serve as a case study of bureaucratic politics. Week 6: Judiciary & Supreme Court This session will examine judicial power and the influence of politics on Supreme Court decisions. We will also consider the normative question of how much power an unelected judiciary should have in a democratic system. The primary case study in this session will be the Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2010), which struck down an act of Congress prohibiting independent campaign expenditures by corporations and labour unions. About the Instructors Thomas E.

American Government: Constitutional Foundations

American Government: Constitutional Foundations - Learn how early American politics informed the U.S. Constitution and why its promise of liberty and equality has yet to be fully realized. About this course “We the People” are the opening words of the U.S. Constitution, yet the original document did not give citizens much say in the election of their officials. Though some of those issues have been addressed, substantial barriers—gerrymandering, voter registration, and voter ID laws—still restrain the power of the vote. Why? How can a country, founded more than 200 years ago on the ideals of liberty, equality, and individualism, still struggle to empower all of its citizens equally? This course explores the origins of U.S. political culture, how that culture informed the Constitution, and how that framework continues to influence the country’s politics and policies. We will examine the Constitution’s provisions for limited government, the division of power between the federal and state governments, and the forces that have made federalism a source of political conflict and change. We will address how the Constitution not only established the structure of the U.S. government but guarantees personal freedoms and civil rights. These rights have been challenged and expanded in significant Supreme Court cases, which will help to illustrate how historically disadvantaged groups have struggled to realize the 14th Amendment's promise of equality. Overview Duration 4 weeks long Time Commitment 2-4 hours per week Pace Self-paced Subject Social Sciences Collection U.S. Government Course English Video Transcript English Difficulty Introductory Credit Audit for Free Add a Verified Certificate for $99 Platform edX Topics U. S. History, Law, Justice, Political Sciences, Government What you'll learn The foundations of the American political culture How the Constitution represented the idea of “limited government” Why the Constitution’s framers felt it necessary to limit the popular influence The history of federalism as a constitutional issue How power is divided between the federal and state governments What individual rights are held by today’s Americans Which policies have expanded the rights of disadvantaged groups Syllabus Week 1: Political Culture This session will explore the origins of the nation’s political culture, its embrace by each succeeding generation of Americans, and its continuing influence on the nation’s politics and policies. U.S. welfare and education policy will be used to illustrate that influence. The session also highlights the nature of politics—the process through which society settles its conflicts over scarce resources and conflicting values. Week 2: Limited Government This session will examine the Constitution’s provisions for limited government and then explore the extent to which these provisions have curbed constitutional abuses of power. The main points of the session will be reinforced by examining a set of cases, including the Watergate scandal, the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, and the Bush Administration’s handling of enemy detainees after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Week 3: Representative Government This session will explore the reasons that the framers felt it necessary to limit popular influence, will describe how and why the original system changed, and will look at contemporary barriers—gerrymandering, voter registration, and voter ID laws—that inhibit voting. Week 4: Federalism The session will explain the division of power between the federal and state governments and also explain how broadly worded constitutional clauses, partisan differences, and changing national needs have combined to make federalism a source of political conflict and change. Among the cases explored in this session is the constitutional dispute provoked by the 2010 healthcare reform act. Week 5: Civil Liberties This session will examine these developments and explain the individual rights held by today’s Americans. Major Supreme Court rulings—such as those relating to free speech and protection from unreasonable search and seizure—will be discussed as a means of clarifying Americans’ civil liberties. Week 6: Civil Rights This session will focus on three policies that have been instrumental in expanding the rights and opportunities of disadvantaged groups: the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause, the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and affirmative action. The last of these policies have been particularly contentious and we’ll take a close look at it, including a recent Supreme Court ruling on a case involving the University of Texas at Austin.

Bioethics: The Law, Medicine, and Ethics of Reproductive Technologies and Genetics

Bioethics: The Law, Medicine, and Ethics of Reproductive Technologies and Genetics (An introduction to the study of bioethics and the application of legal and ethical reasoning). BY Harvard University, Cambridge via Edx. About this course Bioethics provides an overview of the legal, medical, and ethical questions around reproduction and human genetics and how to apply legal reasoning to these questions. This law course includes interviews with individuals who have used surrogacy and sperm donation, with medical professionals who are experts in current reproductive technologies like In Vitro Fertilization and Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis, and bioethicists and journalists who study the ownership and use of genetic information within human tissue. Additional Harvard colleagues will also share with you their thoughts on topics such as disability law as it relates to reproductive technology. While the law and ethics surrounding these technologies are a central component to this course, we also show you examples of the deeply personal and human side of these issues. Throughout the course, and with the help of law students, we will discuss leading legal cases in this field, which will illuminate the types of questions the law has struggled with – stretching and evolving over time. From the famous Baby M surrogacy case to cases on the paternity of sperm donors, to a case related to the ownership of human tissue turned into a commercial product, and others. We will show you the ethical, legal, and rhetorical underpinnings, which have served as the basis for various court decisions over the past 20 or 30 years. We will also explore potential future technologies and their implications for society: genetic enhancements to increase our intelligence, let us live a hundred years longer, or make us immune to diseases – and the possibility of creating animal-human hybrids, for example, a mouse with a humanized brain. The content within this course is intended to be instructive, and show how legal reasoning has been applied or could be applied, to questions related to parenthood, reproduction, and other issues surrounding human genetic material. The material organized within this course should be considered an authoritative overview but is not intended to serve as medical or legal advice.
