The Many Paths of Change in International Law

Editat de Nico Krisch, Ezgi Yildiz
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 noi 2023
How does international law change? How does it adapt to meet global challenges in a volatile social and political context? The Many Paths of Change in International Law offers fresh, theoretically informed, and empirically rich answers to these questions. It traces drivers, conditions, and consequences of change across the different fields of international law and paints a complex and varied picture very much in contrast with the relatively static imagery prevalent in many accounts today.Drawing on inspirations from international law, international relations, sociology, and legal theory, this book explores how international law changes through means other than treaty-making. Highlighting the social dynamics through which different areas and institutional contexts have generated their own pathways, it presents a theoretical framework for tracing change processes and the conditions that affect their success. Based on this framework, each contribution illuminates the paths of change we observe in contemporary international law. The explorations centre on strategies, forms, forces, and social contexts and draw on primary source material and in-depth case studies. Overall, the volume offers a fascinating account of an international legal order in flux-with a dynamic not captured through traditional doctrinal lenses-and helps situate change processes and their varied implications in international law and politics. A relevant book for everyone wanting to understand change and its consequences in international law.This is an open access title.

Recenzii

Nico Krisch and Ezgi Yildiz have produced the rare volume that both opens new space for analytic inquiry and offers sharp insights for navigating it. The volume should-and, I think, will-have a lasting impact on how many international legal and policy experts approach the field.
This superb volume breaks new interdisciplinary ground. Nico Krisch and Ezgi Yildiz see international law as a dynamic field, caught between forces that promote stability and inertia and forces that push towards major as well as smaller but nevertheless consequential changes. Together with an all-star team of international lawyers and political scientists, they massively extend the boundaries of our understanding of change in international law.
How international law changes is now a question routinely asked. It is however rarely answered with the empirical breadth, conceptual creativity, and interdisciplinary rigor displayed in this volume. Krisch and Yildiz have gathered an impressive range of established scholars and rising stars, making The Many Paths of Change in International Law path-breaking indeed.
An eye-opening book on the vibrancy of contemporary international law. Nico Krisch and Ezgi Yildiz have wisely chosen to shed light on an insufficiently investigated topic, that of informal change occurring through a vast web of actors, processes, and strategies.
Mapping the paths of change in international law requires both the boldness of an explorer and the precision of a surveyor. It requires both a readiness to push past well-rehearsed doctrines and a rigorous eye for detail and nuance. It might seem an impossible task. And yet, this book somehow exhibits both qualities. Stitching together the accounts of its insightful editors and authors, it is one of the best guides we have to the many and varied practices that we call international law.
This book is a stimulating volume which should be read by policy experts and anyone wanting to understand change and its consequences in international law.
