Edited By Fleur Johns, Richard Joyce, And Sundhya Pahuja. A Glasshouse Book. Includes Bibliographical References And Index.
This collection investigates the intersection of international law with the concept of the 'event,' questioning how specific historical occurrences shape, challenge, or redefine legal norms. Edited by Fleur Johns, Richard Joyce, and Sundhya Pahuja, the volume gathers contributions from various legal scholars who analyze whether international law acts as a static framework or a reactive force shaped by political and social ruptures. The contributors utilize critical legal theory to examine how moments of crisis, transition, and conflict force the evolution of global legal doctrines.
