International Law
Fascism, Imperialism and International Law
What would happen to our understanding of international law and its relationship with violence if we collapsed the distinction between our supposedly post-colonial ‘present’ and its colonial ‘past’; between the sovereign spaces of the twenty-first century global order, and the integrated, hierarchical space of fascist imperialism? I respond to this question through an investigation into the physical contours of a precise ‘imperial location’: 30°3…
Newer is Truer
To critical scholars of international law, the demands of the newly independent states represented at the Bandung Conference can appear somewhat less than radical. If analysed not only in terms of their substance but also in terms of their (narrative) form, however, these demands take on a far more revolutionary aspect. This chapter mobilises Bakhtin’s concept of the chronotope to focus on the relationship between time and space, as constructed b…
Theorizing Recognition and International Personality
This chapter examines the way in which the legal effect of recognition on international personality has been theorized. Bringing some of the most prominent theories of the relationship between recognition and international personality into conversation with some of their most recent and radical alternatives, the chapter considers why colonial patterns of inequality persist, in spite of the ‘rolling out’ of international personality globally. Is i…
The Spectre of Sources
Their aim is that the Handbook should represent ‘a first step towards a global history of international law’, and therefore also towards ‘overcoming [the] Eurocentrism’ by which this area of study has, as they observe, long been afflicted (at 1). Given that the history of international law has tended to be a history of states, and that most of the world’s non-European states came into existence after 1945 (the Handbook’s chronological cut-off poi…
(Post)Revolutionary Interlinkages
In this collective review, we explore Timothy Mitchells Carbon Democracy: Political Power in the Age of Oil with a view to reflecting critically on a contemporary historical juncture, which we call a (post)revolutionary moment. The review builds on discussions at a seminar we co-organised in Doha, Qatar under the auspices of Harvard Law Schools Institute for Global Law and Policy as part of its annual workshop in January 2013.1 Carbon Democracy i…
Brad R. Roth. Sovereign Equality and Moral Disagreement
Professor Roth's book addresses what if it were new, as he suggests would be an extremely alarming development: namely, the tendency of strong states to intervene in the affairs of their materially weak but formally equal counterparts. Because such interventionism is invariably justified as necessary in order to defend the core principles of a supposedly universal morality (usually, in the UN era, associated with human rights), Roth argues that t…
Empire des Nègres Blancs
The ‘Abyssinia Crisis’ of 1935–36 – in which one League of Nations member (imperial Ethiopia) was annexed by another (Fascist Italy) – presents one of the clearest twentieth-century illustrations of international law's ‘progress narrative’. International lawyers are encouraged to draw a salutary lesson from the crisis: namely that Ethiopia's sovereignty – and, indeed, the peace of the entire world – might have survived the 1930s if only internati…
