“…and private law firms (Wasn't "going corporate" avoiding the responsibilities of privilege? ), instead aspiring to join NGOs, advise governments, and travel the world as an intellectual-in short, to be part of the new management class assessing political risks through the prism of law with a cosmopolitan (interdisciplinary) sensibility (Haskell 2016). In this world view, economists were the enemy: either the handmaidens of Reagan/Thatcher, or the accountants in Human Resources pushing paper.…”

Martti Koskenniemi, the Mainstream, and Self-Reflectivity

This article argues that contemporary international lawyers all sing the same critical refrain but few have really confronted and integrated the critical attitude deployed in From Apology to Utopia. After the denial and perplexity of the first encounters with Martti Koskenniemi's work, international lawyers came to feel that they have domesticated the perplexity provoked by it. They now all enthuse about the new self-reflectivity that their victorious struggle with From Apology to Utopia supposedly allowed them to acquire. In sum, the contemporary self-proclaimed self-reflective international lawyers, after reading From Apology to Utopia, have returned to business as usual, continuing to let the discipline's vocabulary decide on their behalf.

From Apology to Utopia’s Point of Attack

This contribution to the Symposium celebrating the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of Martti Koskenniemi's From Apology to Utopia explores the relevance of the book for contemporary theorists of the international world. In doing so, the article puts Koskenniemi's classic in a contest with John Yoo's recent book, Point of Attack. The purpose in doing so is three-fold. First, it is to illustrate the contemporary use of Koskenniemi's structuralist method. Second, it is to show how the use of the method, with its attendant reliance on modes of legal thought, might give pause to international thinkers seeking to reinvigorate particular structures of argument from the nineteenth century. Third, the two books are put into conversation in order to highlight what I believe to be the very productive results of the structuralist method that have, for the most part, been dormant for a generation.
