This book considers the significance of informed publics from the
perspective of international law. It does so by analysing
international media law frameworks and the 'mediatization' of
international law in institutional settings. This approach exposes
the complexity of the interrelationship between international law
and the media, but also points to the dangers involved in
international law's associated and increasing reliance upon the
mediated techniques of communicative capitalism - such as publicity
- premised upon an informed international public whose existence
many now question. The book explores the ways in which traditional
regulatory and analytical categories are increasingly challenged -
revealed as inadequate or bypassed - but also assesses their
resilience and future utility in light of significant technological
change and concerns about fake news, the rise of big data and
algorithmic accountability. Furthermore, it contends that analysing
the imbrication of media and international law in the current
digital transition is necessary to understand the nature of the
problems a system such as international law faces without
sufficiently informed publics. The book argues that international
law depends on informed global publics to function and to address
the complex global problems which we face. This draws into view the
role media plays in relation to international law, but also the
role of international law in regulating the media, and reveals the
communicative character of international law.
