Increasingly, international legal arrangements imagine future
worlds or create space for experts to articulate how the future can
be conceptualized and managed. With the increased specialization of
international law, a series of functional regimes and sub-regimes
has emerged, each with their own imageries, vocabularies,
expert-knowledge, and rules to translate our hopes and fears for
the future into action in the present. At issue in the development
of these regimes are not just competing predictions of the future
based on what we know about what has happened in the past and what
we know is happening in the present. Rather, these regimes seek to
deal with futures about which we know very little or nothing at
all; futures that are inherently uncertain and even potentially
catastrophic; futures for which we need to find ways to identify,
conceptualise, manage, and regulate risks the existence of which we
can possibly only speculate about. This book explores how the
future is imagined, articulated, and managed across the various
fields of international law, including the use of force, maritime
security, international economic and environmental law, and human
rights. It investigates how the future is construed in these
various areas; how the costs of risk, risk regulation, risk
assessment, and risk management are distributed in international
law; the effect of uncertain futures on the subjects of
international law; and the way in which international law operates
when faced with catastrophic or existential risk.
