22 Aug Symposium on The Sentimental Life of International Law: Introduction
It suggests that international lawyers are disabled by the governing idioms of international lawyering, and proposes that they may be re-enabled by speaking different sorts of international law, or by speaking international law in different sorts of ways. In this methodologically diverse and unusually personal account, Gerry Simpson brings to the surface international law’s hidden literary prose and offers a critical and redemptive account of the field. He does so in a series of chapters on international law’s bathetic underpinnings, its friendly relations, the neurotic foundations of its underlying social...

17 Feb Symposium on Rewriting Histories of the Use of Force: A Rejoinder
to the identity of international law as discipline and a profession. The question that arises is whether we can really consider that international law has one identity and that international lawyers across the globe share a core of common beliefs and values. As Miriam Bak McKenna indicated, Anthea Roberts argued in her book Is International Law International? (2017) that law is not necessarily perceived, taught and studied uniformly across borders. This is why I sought to analyse non-western textbooks (see the bibliography pp. 334-340), although I rapidly found myself confronted...27 Jun Linos Book Symposium: Response to Verdier, Cohen and Alford
[Katerina Linos is an Assistant Professor of Law at Berkeley Law] I am very pleased that Pierre Verdier, Harlan Cohen, and Roger Alford are offering the closing comments in the symposium on The Democratic Foundations of Policy Diffusion.
