In Civilization and its Discontents, Sigmund Freud argued that
civilization itself is the major source of human unhappiness,
inhibiting instincts and generating guilt. In Globalization and its
Discontents, Joseph Stiglitz shows how the 'economic architecture'
that produced globalization has also driven the backlash against
it. This book brings together some of international law's most
outspoken 'discontents'; those who situate their malaise in
international law itself. Their shared objective is to expose
international law's complicity in the ongoing economic and
financial global crises and to assess its capacity - and its will -
to constructively address them. Some, like Freud, view that which
holds us together as an inevitable source of discontent. Others,
like Stiglitz, draw on the energy of the backlash. How have these
crises affected particular groups, sovereign states, and
international law itself? How have they responded? When does crisis
serve as a catalyst, and for what?
