This book addresses the themes of praxis and the role of
international lawyers as intellectuals and political actors
engaging with questions of justice for Third World peoples. The
book brings together 12 contributions from a total of 15 scholars
working in the TWAIL (Third World Approaches to International Law)
network or tradition. It includes chapters from some of the
pioneering Third World jurists who have led this field since the
time of decolonization, as well as prominent emerging scholars in
the field. Broadly, the TWAIL orientation understands praxis as the
relationship between what we say as scholars and what we do - as
the inextricability of theory from lived experience. Understood in
this way, praxis is central to TWAIL, as TWAIL scholars strive to
reconcile international law's promise of justice with the
proliferation of injustice in the world it purports to govern.
Reconciliation occurs in the realm of praxis and TWAIL scholars
engage in a variety of struggles, including those for greater
self-awareness, disciplinary upheaval, and institutional resistance
and transformation. The rich diversity of contributions in the book
engage these themes and questions through the various prisms of
international institutional engagement, world trade and investment
law, critical comparative law, Palestine solidarity and
decolonization, judicial education, revolutionary struggle against
imperial sovereignty, Muslim Marxism, Third World intellectual
traditions, Global South constitutionalism, and migration. This
book was originally published as a special issue of Third World
Quarterly.
