Los Angeles; Visiting Professor of International, Comparative & Area Studies at Stanford University; and Director of the Sanela Diana Jenkins Human Rights Project.] I am grateful for Ian Hurd’s thoughtful comment on my book chapter partly because it supports my claim that that everyone borrows from the realist tradition. Moreover, Hurd’s comment inadvertently recapitulates a narrow structural realist view of international law (recalling the associated dysfunctional debate of the 1980s) that I intended my chapter to supersede, offering...16 Sep IL/IR Book Discussion: Wanted- Dead or Alive: Realism in International Law

In IL, a field that remains driven largely by normative agendas, realists constantly raise annoying facts and analyses that spoil the party. Finally, realists don’t see nearly as much customary law in the world as most international lawyers who aspire to build a more legalized world order. What’s not to hate? This book chapter argues that realism remains very much alive, not only because international lawyers have kept it...
