'This volume offers an indispensable guide to the concepts that
have shaped the life of international law in theory and practice.
With contributions from a stellar cast of innovative scholars,
Concepts for International Law reveals the power of international
legal language and the worlds it makes possible.' - Anne Orford,
Melbourne Law School, Australia 'Visiting this collection brings to
mind an elegant small Euro-Atlantic art museum from a single
period, eclectic but coherent and unified by the imaginative taste
of the curators. The entries are fine exemplars rather than
comprehensive, the contributors respectably avant-garde and many
already very well known or will be, the whole engagingly luminous.'
- Benedict Kingsbury, New York University, School of Law, US
Concepts allow us to know, understand, think, do and change
international law. This book, with sixty chapters by leading
scholars, provides a nuanced guide to those concepts of historical
significance for international law, as well as those that have
become central to how we think about the discipline. In select
cases this book also offers some new concepts, seeking to address
familiar concerns that have not been fully articulated within the
discipline. This unique book is the first expansive exploration of
concepts that have become historically central to the discipline.
It allows us to appreciate how order, struggle and change play out
in international law and legal thought, and how these concerns of
power implicate ethical considerations. Embracing a wide range of
historical and theoretical approaches, this book hopes to ignite a
renewed, fertile engagement between our concepts and the
contemporary, precarious, conditions of international legal life.
Thought-provoking, original and engaging, this book is essential
reading for researchers, postgraduates and doctoral students in
international law, legal history and legal theory. Academics in
international relations, history, sociology and political thought
will also find this an essential read. Contributors include: P.
