American engagement with international law has long been framed by
commitment to the 'international rule of law', which persists even
across divergent political and historical eras. Yet, despite
appeals to legal ideals, American international law policy is
consistently criticised as fraught with contradiction and distorted
by beliefs in 'exceptionalism'. These contested claims of fidelity
to law are the subject of this book: what does the 'international
rule of law' mean for American legal policymakers even as they
advocate competing commitments to international legal order?
Answers are found in extensive evidence that American policymakers
receive international law through established foreign policy
ideologies, which correspond with divisions in both legal
scholarship and diplomatic history. Using the case of the
International Criminal Court, the book demonstrates that the very
meaning of the international rule of law is structured by competing
ideological beliefs; between American policymakers and global
counterparts, and among American policymakers themselves.
