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. Student materials containing readings and activities are presented in the order provided in accompanying teaching materials. Student materials include readings reprinted from news articles and other publications, readings in question-and-answer format, simulations, worksheets, survey questionnaires, related vocabulary, and discussion questions. Maps, data tables, and photographs supplement student readings. (LH)
