International law is an underdeveloped branch of legal research:
researchers still disagree over the proper understanding of several
of its most fundamental issues, and genuinely so. This book helps
to explain why. It brings clarity that will no doubt make
international legal research more rational, which in turn vouches
for a more productive legal discourse. The author, together with
invited contributors, builds an argument around theories of
epistemological justification. As chapters contend, in
international legal discourse, the construction of knowledge about
international law presupposes some notion of an international legal
system. International legal discourse accommodates several such
notions. Each notion derives from a different conception of law.
Thus, depending on whether a researcher endorses a legal
positivist's, a legal idealist's or a legal realist's conception of
law, he or she will be constructing knowledge of international law
under different epistemic conditions. The book sheds considerable
light on these different conditions, with several chapters
exploring how the different notions of an international legal
system play out in the context of a series of concrete themes of
legal practice. In doing so, the book helps to build a bridge
between the practical and more philosophical aspects of this topic.
This book will be an ideal companion for scholars of international
law. Lawyers and students interested in legal theory and philosophy
will also benefit from this thought-provoking study.
