Successive hegemonic powers have shaped the foundations of
international law. This book examines whether the predominance of
the United States is leading to foundational change in the
international legal system. A range of leading scholars in
international law and international relations consider six
foundational areas that could be undergoing change, including
international community, sovereign equality, the law governing the
use of force, and compliance. The authors demonstrate that the
effects of US predominance on the foundations of international law
are real, but also intensely complex. This complexity is due, in
part, to a multitude of actors exercising influential roles. And it
is also due to the continued vitality and remaining functionality
of the international legal system itself. This system limits the
influence of individual states, while stretching and bending in
response to the changing geopolitics of our time.
