Arguing about matters of public policy is ubiquitous in
democracies. The ability to resolve conflicts through peaceful
contestation is a measure of any well-ordered society. Arguing is
almost as ubiquitous in international affairs, yet it is not viewed
as an important element of world order. In The Power of
Deliberation: International Law, Politics and Organizations, Ian
Johnstone challenges the assumption that arguing is mere lip
service with no real impact on the behavior of states or the
structure of the international system. Johnstone focuses on legal
argumentation and asks why, if the rhetoric of law is
inconsequential, governments and other international actors bother
engaging in it.
Johnstone joins the efforts of international relations scholars and
democracy theorists who consider why argumentation occurs beyond
nation states. He focuses on deliberation in and around
international organizations, drawing on various strands of legal,
political and international relations theory to identify common
features of legal argumentation and deliberative politics.
Johnstone's central claim is that international organizations are
places where "interpretive communities" coalesce, and the quality
of the deliberations these communities provoke is a measure of the
legitimacy of the organization.
