How today's unjust global order is shaped by uncertain expert
knowledge-and how to fix it A World of Struggle reveals the role of
expert knowledge in our political and economic life. As
politicians, citizens, and experts engage one another on a
technocratic terrain of irresolvable argument and uncertain
knowledge, a world of astonishing inequality and injustice is born.
In this provocative book, David Kennedy draws on his experience
working with international lawyers, human rights advocates, policy
professionals, economic development specialists, military lawyers,
and humanitarian strategists to provide a unique insider's
perspective on the complexities of global governance. He describes
the conflicts, unexamined assumptions, and assertions of power and
entitlement that lie at the center of expert rule. Kennedy explores
the history of intellectual innovation by which experts developed a
sophisticated legal vocabulary for global management strangely
detached from its distributive consequences. At the center of
expert rule is struggle: myriad everyday disputes in which
expertise drifts free of its moorings in analytic rigor and
observable fact. He proposes tools to model and contest expert work
and concludes with an in-depth examination of modern law in warfare
as an example of sophisticated expertise in action. Charting a
major new direction in global governance at a moment when the
international order is ready for change, this critically important
book explains how we can harness expert knowledge to remake an
unjust world.
