HACETTEPE UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF ECONOMIC AND ADMINISTRATIVE SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS INR 121 Fundamental Concepts of Law Ali Murat Özdemir Introduction: This course examines the basic concepts of law and the preliminary issues in Turkish legal system. We will look at the basics of the institutional and the organisational structure through which the market-based allocation of resources is guaranteed. The main concern of the course will be the answer of the question of how positive law works rather than the answers to the questions concerning the impact of law on the ‘distribution of wealth’ and the raison d'etre of certain rules. However, some clues for the introduction to the sociology of law will also be given to the interested students. Scope: An introductory answer to the question of how positive law works in Turkey requires an examination on such issues (the books referenced in brackets are the required material): Branches of Law (Payaslıoğlu, 1993:51-63); Making the Legal Rules (Payaslıoğlu, 1993:124-142); Sources of Turkish Law (Ansay and Wallace, 1996:1-18); Law of Persons (Ansay and Wallace, 1996:81-92); Law of Property (Ansay and Wallace, 1996:137-148); Law of Obligations (Ansay and Wallace, 1996:149-157); Torts (Ansay and Wallace, 1996:158-162); The Principle of the Rule of Law (Fine, 1986:169-189) Attendance: Attendance is subject to the university rules.
