Measurement as Development
The proliferation of quantitative metrics has been an integral aspect of the project of development from the second half of the twentieth century, with profound effects on how development has both been envisioned and enacted. Measurement is a social process, with a variety of implications for how we conduct ourselves and how institutions govern populations in the world. Over the past several decades the mechanisms and metrics to measure and rank …
Making and Remaking the World Anew
As a particular project of international institutions, development is a way of seeing, assessing, transforming, and imagining the world in relational terms. Interventions are conducted in the name of creating in ‘developing’ and ‘underdeveloped’ places, preferred models of social and economic organisation putatively embodied by the ‘developed’ world. This relational exercise was originally calibrated in terms of a relatively crude comparison betw…
The Oxford Handbook of International Law and Development
The intertwined relationship between ‘development’, ‘law’, and the ‘international’ is rooted deeply in the formation of the contemporary world. Since the end of the Second World War, ‘international law’ and ‘international development’ have become two of the most prominent secular languages through which competing aspirations about a better world are articulated and put into practice, especially in terms of the ‘developing’ world. Regardless of de…

Law in Transition
Law has become the vehicle by which countries in the ‘developing world', including post-conflict states or states undergoing constitutional transformation, must steer the course of social and economic, legal and political change. Legal mechanisms, in particular, the instruments as well as concepts of human rights, play an increasingly central role in the discourses and practices of both development and transitional justice. These developments can…
Passing through the Mirror’’
The failures of Western law in its encounter with indigenous legal orders have been well documented, but alternative modes of negotiating the encounter remain under-explored in legal scholarship.The present article addresses this lacuna. It proceeds from the premise that the journey towards a different conceptualization of law might be fruitfully re-routed through the affect-laden realm of embodied experience — the experience of watching the subv…
Law, nation and (imagined) international communities
Although it was published more than 20 years ago, in a world that was geopolitically dramatically different from our own, it is difficult to approach the subject of nation without invoking Benedict Anderson’s Imagined Communities. This small book has come to serve as an almost mandatory point of reference for academic discussions of the modern nation. And although many disagree with Anderson’s analysis that ‘from the start, nation was conceived i…
Perpetual Peace or Perpetual Process
This article argues that a contemporary form of ‘cosmopolitan legality’ serves as an animating force behind contemporary practices of global civil society and global governance. The first part provides an account of the recent history of civil society engagement with the World Trade Organization. It observes that civil society groups have focused their collective efforts on issues relating to procedural legitimacy, including accountability, openn…
Constructing Virtual Justice in the Global Arena
This book by Yves Dezalay and Bryant Garth, both a major empirical and theoretical contribution, has arrived at a propitious time for law and society scholars. If our discipline is not in crisis, it is certainly in a period of transition. As "globalization" has monopolized the attention of policymakers, journalists, futurists, politicians, and the business elite, scholars in law and society have not been far behind. Meetings of the Law and Societ…
