International Law as a Cyborg Science
International law academics have increasingly turned to engage deliberately engage computer-oriented technologies. There is little work in the literature that reflects on how this engagement itself takes place, what it tells us about the state of the discipline, and the consequences of concentrating on the phenomena of digital technologies. This paper shares some possible conceptual taxonomies and theoretical concerns in disciplinary self-reflect…
Christianity and International Law
This cross-disciplinary collaboration offers historical and contemporary scholarship exploring the interface of Christianity and international law. Christianity and International Law aims to understand and move past arguments, narratives and tropes that commonly frame law-religion studies in global governance. Readers are introduced to a range of confessional and critical perspectives explicitly engaging a diverse range of methodological and theo…
Modern Money Theory and International Law
This essay examines an emerging epistemological conjuncture between what might loosely be identified as two (primarily) academic camps: economists subscribing to “modern money theory” (MMT) and international lawyers associated with “critical” traditions within the discipline. For many legal scholars, my sense is that their current experience with MMT varies from “I think I have heard of that before” to “that state theory to money that pushes for …
Ways of doing extraterritoriality in scholarship
The international legal concept of extraterritoriality reflects some of the most pressing questions within the profession: the scope and legitimacy of juridical authority, the designation of relevant actors and actions, and the distribution of power within networks of global governance. Two approaches are generally adopted by international law scholars with respect to the theme of extraterritoriality: technical analysis and contextualisation. If …
International Law and the Turn to Political Economy
An increasing number of international law scholars over the last few years have started to turn their attention to the study of political economy. To what extent can this trend be considered an indication of an underlying ‘disciplinary turn’? How should one understand the phenomenon of disciplinary turns? The answer we propose to this question in this article proceeds from the assumption that not all disciplinary shifts follow the same logic. Unl…
Political Theology and International Law
Political Theology and International Law offers an account of the intellectual debates surrounding the term "political theology" in academic literature concerning international law. Beneath these differences is a shared tradition, or genre, within the literature that reinforces particular styles of characterising and engaging predicaments in global politics. The text develops an argument toward another way of thinking about what political theolog…
From Apology to Utopia ’s Conditions of Possibility
Martti Koskenniemi's From Apology to Utopia is (rightly) considered a classic in international legal theory. The study tracks the oscillation of international legal argument over hundreds of years to reconcile seeming incongruencies: legal reasoning does not provide determinacy, but it brings weighted direction to political conflict; legal categories are amorphous, yet also an autonomous field of study. Though not commonly engaged, the methodolog…
Religious Actors and International Law
On the surface, Ioana Cismas's Religious Actors and International Law adopts an analytical approach familiar to the field: the emphasis on specific clauses within legal instruments and in-depth analysis of cases, preoccupation with the post–Cold War era, selective engagement with scholarly materials to emphasize academic or policy stances, and a conventional set of actors, with individual chapters dedicated to religious church organizations in th…
Divine Immanence
In this article, I hypothesize that against mainstream secularization accounts concerning the 19th-century development of modern international law, especially within the Anglo-American experience, the discipline was significantly influenced by liberal Protestantism. My argument is that a liberal Protestant cultural elite, to which the first generation of international jurists belonged, drew inspiration from the theological doctrine of divine imma…
The Paradox of Plebiscitary Democracy in Presidential Nomination Campaigns
how fair it can be. In this article, the presidential nomination campaign is subjected to an analysis using basic tools of social choice theory. The objective is to find out whether the nomination campaign can be made democratically fairer, while maintaining the qualities it has that make it a workable majoritarian method of public choice. Ultimately we will consider whether the commitment to plebiscitary democracy can be justified in view of the…
