From crisis to epoch: how to understand this era of international law?
- Abstract:
- Twenty-two years ago in her defining article, 'International Law: A Discipline of Crisis' ('A Discipline of Crisis'), Hilary Charlesworth observed that international lawyers are fascinated, even obsessed, by crisis. Viewing our discipline through the lens of crisis encourages us 'to cast ourselves grandly in an heroic mould'. But this focus on crisis comes at considerable cost to the discipline. She rightly pointed out that the crisis model is technically limited and narrows the agenda of international law. In this lecture, I take up her call to enlarge the frame of inquiry.
