International law is playing an increasingly important role in
international politics. However, international relations theorists
have thus far failed to conceptualise adequately the role that law
plays in politics. Instead, IR theorists have tended to operate
with a limited conception of law. An understanding of jurisprudence
and legal methodology is a crucial step towards achieving a better
account of international law in IR theory. But many of the flaws in
IR's idea of law stem also from the theoretical foundations of
constructivism - the school of thought which engages most
frequently with law. In this book, Adriana Sinclair rehabilitates
IR theory's understanding of law, using cases studies from
American, English and international law to critically examine
contemporary constructivist approaches to IR and show how a gap in
their understanding of law has led to inadequate theorisation.
