\u201cDisordering here refers to an analytical frame in which binary modes of thinking (rights\/obligations, public\/private, religious\/secular, North\/South) are reconsidered by adopting a non-dualist perspective that collapses the either\/or nature of these distinctions.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Michelle Staggs Kelsall, \u201cDisordering International Law<\/a>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Michelle Staggs Kelsall\u2019s \u201cDisordering International Law<\/em><\/a>\u201d <\/em>puts into question the function of international law as a compendium of rules to \u2018order\u2019, the Westphalian statist underpinnings (under the guise of \u2018inter-national\u2019) and espouses a call to move beyond a space of liberal exclusivity towards a more pluralistic, less prescriptive space of \u2018juris-generation\u2019. As most who critique what is presented and protected as lex lata<\/em> are painfully aware, the liberal international legal order operates and designates its insiders and \u2018others\u2019 (who incidentally end up being the winners and the losers) the way it does not out of coincidence but out of design.<\/p>\n

Re-theorizing about (international) law, imagining it anew and practicing that reimagination (praxis) cannot happen without not only understanding but un-learning the premises that shield international law in its liberal conceptualisation behind a veil of manufactured \u2018objectivity\u2019. The task of ontological overhaul must start with questions about what is central to the order. By using a journalistic convention (proverbial \u201c5W \u2013 1H\u201d questions), we can probably map the various strands of scholarship that have critically engaged with international law (and which are too numerous to mention here but some of which are covered in \u201cDisordering International Law<\/a>\u201d), uncovered and exposed its origins, its biases, its aims and its willfull omissions:<\/p>\n
