This book fills a major gap in the ever-increasing secondary
literature on Hannah Arendt's political thought by providing a
dedicated and coherent treatment of the many, various and
interesting things which Arendt had to say about law. Often
obscured by more pressing or more controversial aspects of her
work, Arendt nonetheless had interesting insights into Greek and
Roman concepts of law, human rights, constitutional design,
legislation, sovereignty, international tribunals, judicial review
and much more. This book retrieves these aspects of her legal
philosophy for the attention of both Arendt scholars and lawyers
alike. The book brings together lawyers as well as Arendt scholars
drawn from a range of disciplines (philosophy, political science,
international relations), who have engaged in an internal debate
the dynamism of which is captured in print. Following the editors'
introduction, the book is split into four Parts: Part I explores
the concept of law in Arendt's thought; Part II explores legal
aspects of Arendt's constitutional thought: first locating Arendt
in the wider tradition of republican constitutionalism, before
turning attention to the role of courts and the role of parliament
in her constitutional design. In Part III Arendt's thought on
international law is explored from a variety of perspectives,
covering international institutions and international criminal law,
as well as the theoretical foundations of international law. Part
IV debates the foundations, content and meaning of Arendt's famous
and influential claim that the 'right to have rights' is the one
true human right.
