Colouring Within the Lines
Some of the most visible changes in the international legal system occur when treaties specify new rules or norms of behaviour for its members. Each of these is a component of what has been referred to elsewhere as the “normative system”, or the part of the international legal system that is quasi-legislative in character by mandating particular values and directing specific changes in state and other actors' behaviour. Yet the normative system i…
Filling In the Gaps
What happens when there is an imbalance between the operating and normative systems of international law? One obvious outcome is nothing; the imbalance remains, and the norms of the system are not given full effect. For example, human rights provisions abound, but they can be widely ignored in the absence of enforcement mechanisms. In this article, we identify several other possibilities. Our contention is that adaptations occur that compensate f…

The Dynamics of International Law
This article describes the basic components of the operating and normative systems as a conceptual framework for analyzing and understanding international law. There are many theoretical questions that follow from the framework that embodies a normative and operating system. We briefly outline one of those in this article, namely how the operating system changes. In doing so, we seek to address the puzzle of why operating system changes do not al…
Exploring International Law
Four political scientists and one legal scholar explore questions concerning the place of international law in political science research. Paul Diehl identifies a “warm bodies problem” that has resulted from academic skepticism about the relevance of international law to international relations, creating a dearth of political scientists trained to conduct research in international law. Beth Simmons refutes Diehl's proposition that the warm bodies…
Catholicism, the peace of Westphalia, and the origins of modern international law
Article Extract: The toleration and recognition won by the Protestant states of Europe after prevailing over Catholic forces in the Thirty Years War (1618-48) meant the rejection of the hierarchy that stemmed from the authority of the pope and Catholic Church and the establishment of a system “characterized by the coexistence of a multiplicity of states, each sovereign within its territory, equal to one another, and free from any external earthly…

Images to frame the discourse
Efforts to organise individuals into productive and effective groups have challenged political thinkers from antiquity. Aristotle, for example, wrote that: To determine the size of the polis - to settle how large it can properly be, and whether it ought to consist of the members of one people or several - is a duty incumbent on the statesman. The search has been much influenced by the desire to recreate a supposed universal and natural order of h…

The concept of res communis in international law
Article Extract: As the means by which man defines relations, creates expectations and assigns obligations, law provides a chronicle of the progress of man himself. The most fundamental laws address issues of survival: to insure that individual actions will contribute to and not jeopardize the welfare of the group. With survival needs met, the law moves on to address individual rights in matters of property and other private relations. What the l…
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
Article Extract: On 1 July 1997, when China regains sovereignty over Hong Kong, it will have taken another step in its efforts to recover territory lost during the nineteenth century, in the waning years of the Qing dynasty. With over 90 percent of its nearly six million people claiming Chinese origin, Hong Kong is culturally very much a southern Chinese city. Yet its years as a British Crown Colony have made it a distinct entity. Despite the ben…
