The possibility of law in the absence of a nation would seem to
strip law from its source of meaning and value. At the same time,
law divorced from nations would clear the ground for a cosmopolitan
vision in which the prejudices or idiosyncrasies of distinctive
national traditions would give way to more universalist groundings
for law. These alternately dystopian and utopian viewpoints inspire
this original collection of essays on law without nations.
This book examines the ways in which the growing
internationalization of law affects domestic national law, the
relationship between cosmopolitan legal ideas and understandings of
national identity, and the intersections of identity and law based
on the liberal tradition of jurisprudence and transnational
influences. Ultimately, "Law without Nations" offers sharp analyses
of the fraught relationship between the nation and the state--and
the legal forms and practices that they require, constitute, and
violently contest.
