Conceptualizing Professionalism(s) in International Criminal Justice
This symposium examines competing and converging assumptions about professionalism, professional behaviour, and a professional sense of self held among those who work within and around the field of international criminal justice. By asking what ‘counts’ as professional behaviour in international criminal justice, contributions to the symposium examine how different types of expertise are navigated in the field, which kinds of professionalism are …
Professionals and Professionalism(s) in International Criminal Justice
To reflect on the theme of professionals and professionalism(s) covered within the articles in this symposium, on 14 February 2025, the guest editors and the Journal of International Criminal Justice convened an online roundtable discussion with four international criminal law practitioners with varied backgrounds and diverse experience.1 The aim of the discussion was to explore the evolving professional landscape and to consider how professional…
Practices of (De)Legitimation in World Politics
This forum proposes a practice-oriented approach to (de)legitimation processes in world politics. Drawing on international practice theory and visual IR, among other fields, our approach offers an important extension of existing literature on (de)legitimation that mostly concentrates on discursive (de)legitimation. Instead, this forum focuses on a broader variety of practices of (de)legitimation, such as bodily gestures and visual (de)legitimatio…
Contesting the World
Over the past thirty years, norms research has evolved into a significant subfield within International Relations and beyond. 'Contesting the World' delves into the development of norms, exploring their emergence, change and legitimacy on both domestic and international levels. This in-depth volume presents the interpretation-contestation framework, positioning it as the primary theoretical mechanism for understanding norms. Leading scholars span…
Legal Infrastructures
This Article provides the outline for a conceptual framework focusing on legal infrastructures, comprised of socio-material assemblages and entangled legal normativities that both enable and constrain human societies. Section A introduces the growing transdisciplinary field of infrastructural studies, which employs the notion of infrastructure as a tool for analyzing the constitutive relationship between society and essential material structures.…
Between Contestation and Support
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has come under challenge in recent years as some countries have decided, or considered, to withdraw from it. Against this backdrop, an emerging literature has begun to examine attitudes toward the court among the general public as a key court constituency. However, little is known about how domestic elites perceive the court. This research gap is particularly surprising given that domestic elites have a cons…
The art of aiming at a moving target
How can we account for the normative dimension of international practices? Silviya Lechner and Mervyn Frost’s Practice Theory and International Relations answers this question by proposing, with a considerable degree of epistemological sophistication, what the authors call ‘normative descriptivism’, which they combine with a focus on ‘macro practices’. In this contribution, I start by examining the authors’ engagement with IR’s practice turn, and…
Whose legitimacy beliefs count? Targeted audiences in global governance legitimation processes
Practice theory and change in international law
The question of change has emerged as one of the main conceptual and empirical challenges for International Relations' practice turn. In the context of international law, such a challenge is brought into particularly stark relief due to the significant development of legal meaning through more informal, interpretive avenues, including through the judgments of international courts. This paper develops a framework for theorizing how interpretive le…
A New Influence of Legal Scholars? The Use of Academic Writings at International Criminal Courts and Tribunals
What role have international legal scholars played in the development of international criminal law? Building on recent studies of the citation practices of international courts, the article provides an empirical assessment of the use and functions of citations to scholarly writings in the judgments of international criminal courts and tribunals. Using a mixed-methods approach, the article combines: a) a quantitative analysis of judgments interpr…
