Epistemic Forces in International Law presents a comprehensive
examination of the methodological choices made by international
lawyers and provides a discerning insight into the ways in which
lawyers shape their arguments to secure validation within the
international legal community.International law is defined in this
book as an argumentative practice, articulated around a set of
foundational doctrines and deployed through rhetorical techniques.
Taking an original approach, Jean d'Aspremont focuses on five key
foundational doctrines of international legal theory and five key
techniques deployed in international legal argumentation. He argues
that mastering these foundational principles and argumentative
procedures shapes the discourse of international lawyers as much as
these discourses shape these foundational doctrines and techniques
of legal argumentation. This book is a pertinent contribution to
the methodology and theory of international law, illustrating the
rationale of the choices made by lawyers in the doctrines of
statehood, sources, law-making, international organisations and
effectivity. This accessible reflection on the conceptual,
theoretical and methodological perspectives of international law
will be a salient point of reference for legal academics,
researchers and practitioners alike.
