What is international law, and how does it work? This book argues
that our answers to these fundamental questions are shaped by a
variety of social cognition and knowledge production processes.
These processes act as invisible frames, through which we
understand international law. To better conceive the frames within
which international law moves and performs, we must understand how
psychological and socio-cultural factors affect decision-making in
an international legal process. This includes identifying the
groups of people and institutions that shape and alter the
prevailing discourse in international law, and unearthing the
hidden meaning of the various mythologies that populate and
influence our normative world. With chapters from leading experts
in the discipline, employing insights from sociology, psychology,
and behavioural science, this book investigates the mechanisms that
allow us to apprehend and intellectually represent the social
practice of international law. It unveils the hidden or unnoticed
processes by which our understanding of international law is
formed, and helps readers to unlearn some of the presuppositions
that inform our largely unquestioned beliefs about international
law.
