Friedrich Kratochwil's book explores the role of law in the
international arena and the key discourses surrounding it. It
explains the increased importance of law for politics, from
law-fare to the judicialization of politics, to human rights, and
why traditional expectations of progress through law have led to
disappointment. Providing an overview of the debates in legal
theory, philosophy, international law and international
organizations, Kratochwil reflects on the need to break down
disciplinary boundaries and address important issues in both
international relations and international law, including
deformalization, fragmentation, the role of legal pluralism, the
emergence of autonomous autopoietic systems and the appearance of
non-territorial forms of empire. He argues that the pretensions of
a positivist theory in social science and of positivism in law are
inappropriate for understanding practical problems and formulates
an approach for the analysis of praxis based on constructivism and
pragmatism.
