International Law as a Belief System considers how we construct
international legal discourses and the self-referentiality at the
centre of all legal arguments about international law. It explores
how the fundamental doctrines (such as sources, responsibility,
statehood, personality, interpretation and jus cogens) constrain
legal reasoning by inventing their own origin and dictating the
nature of their functioning. In this innovative work, d'Aspremont
argues that these processes constitute the mark of a belief system.
This book invites international lawyers to temporarily suspend some
of their understandings about the fundamental doctrines they adhere
to in their professional activities. It aims to provide readers
with new tools to reinvent the thinking about international law and
combines theory and practice to offer insights that are valuable
for both theorists and practitioners.
