Progress is a familiar slogan in international law, commonly used
to accompany claims for improvement or change. At the same time,
the notion of progress is rarely explored as such in the
literature. The book begins to address this gap by examining the
function of the notion of progress in international law rhetoric
and writing. By looking at three concrete case studies taken from
'everyday' international law, the book concentrates on explaining
'what is it' that makes a specific international law event
synonymous with progress. The book engages questions of
narrativity, objectivity, and truth in some of international law's
founding progress narratives. The book is valuable reading for
international law academics and practitioners alike, especially for
those interested in the history and theory of international law.
