This book addresses a simple question: how do Russians understand
international law? Is it the same understanding as in the West or
is it in some ways different and if so, why? It answers these
questions by drawing on from three different yet closely
interconnected perspectives: history, theory, and recent state
practice. The work uses comparative international law as starting
point and argues that in order to understand post-Soviet Russia's
state and scholarly approaches to international law, one should
take into account the history of ideas in Russia. To an extent,
Russian understandings of international law differ from what is
considered the mainstream in the West. One specific feature of this
book is that it goes inside the language of international law as it
is spoken and discussed in post-Soviet Russia, especially the
scholarly literature in the Russian language, and relates this
literature to the history of international law as discipline in
Russia. Recent state practice such as the annexation of Crimea in
2014, Russia's record in the UN Security Council, the jurisprudence
of the European Court of Human Rights, prominent cases in
investor-state arbitration, and the creation of the Eurasian
Economic Union are laid out and discussed in the context of
increasingly popular 'civilizational' ideas, the claim that Russia
is a unique civilization and therefore not part of the West. The
implications of this claim for the future of international law, its
universality, and regionalism are discussed.
