PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL LAW
Keywords:
International law, Pluralism, GlobalizationAbstract
Public international law hovers between cosmopolitan ethos and technical specialization. Neither of the principal legal responses to regime-formation - constitutionalism and pluralism - is adequate, however. The emergence of regimes resembles the rise of nation States in the late nineteenth century. But if nations are 'imagined communities', so are regimes. Reducing international law to a mechanism to advance functional objectives is vulnerable to the criticisms raised against thinking about it as an instrument for state policy: neither regimes nor states have a fixed nature or self-evident objectives. The task for international lawyers is not to learn new managerial vocabularies but to use the language of international law to articulate the politics of critical universalism.
