International Law and Ethics After the Critical Challenge: Framing the Legal Within the Post-Foundational

Recasting the critical challenge to international law in positive terms, this book examines what is left of international law if we accept both that apolitical rules are impossible and that the values used to justify them are irreducibly, radically subjective.
