International lawyers have long recognised the importance of
interpretation to their academic discipline and professional
practice. As new insights on interpretation abound in other fields,
international law and international lawyers have largely remained
wedded to a rule-based approach, focusing almost exclusively on the
Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. Such an approach neglects
interpretation as a distinct and broader field of theoretical
inquiry. Interpretation in International Law brings international
legal scholars together to engage in sustained reflection on the
theme of interpretation. The book is creatively structured around
the metaphor of the game, which captures and illuminates the
constituent elements of an act of interpretation. The object of the
game of interpretation is to persuade the audience that one's
interpretation of the law is correct. The rules of play are known
and complied with by the players, even though much is left to their
skills and strategies. There is also a meta-discourse about the
game of interpretation - 'playing the game of game-playing' - which
involves consideration of the nature of the game, its underlying
stakes, and who gets to decide by what rules one should play.
Through a series of diverse contributions, Interpretation in
International Law reveals interpretation as an inescapable feature
of all areas of international law. It will be of interest and
utility to all international lawyers whose work touches upon
theoretical or practical aspects of interpretation.
