This global approach to teaching high school students about international law uses existing curriculum materials from a variety of social studies disciplines to present five major perspectives. Perspective I, "Global Links," focuses on the meaning of citizenship in a global age and the interconnectedness between individuals and the international system. Perspective II, "Cultural Contrasts," examines custom and law, including cultural perspectives on family law, decision making in another culture, and international human rights. Perspective III, "Actors and Relationships," examines actors on the international stage including nation-states, multi-national corporations, regional organizations, and non-governmental organizations. Focusing on "International Order," perspective IV presents an historic view of various models of world order, law, and government. The final perspective provides an introduction to international conflict; lessons on negotiation, arbitration, adjudication; and other approaches to resolving international conflict. In this teacher's handbook, each perspective contains an introduction, content overview, and lesson plans. In most cases, lesson plans contain (1) an introduction, providing students with concepts-building activities; (2) a development section, expanding the focus through the use of case study and discussion; and (3) an application section, in which students participate in individual writing assignments, group work, role-playing, or simulations. A list of source materials concludes the handbook. (LH)
