The Health of Nations

Abstract

The human world is changing. Old social structures are being overwhelmed by forces of social transformation which are sweeping across political and cultural frontiers. A social animal is becoming the social species. The animal that lives in packs and herds (family, corporation, nation, state) is becoming a member of a human society which is the society of all human beings, the society of all societies. The age-old problems of social life - religious, philosophical, moral, political, legal, economic - must now be addressed at the level of the whole species, and the level where all cultures and traditions meet and will contribute to an exhilarating and hazardous new form of human self-evolving. In this book Philip Allott explores the social and legal implications and potentialities of these developments in the light of the general theory of society and law which is proposed in his groundbreaking Eunomia: New Order for a New World.

Impartiality and Bias at the International Court of Justice

“…The Court might indeed-to paraphrase Allott-speak to states the words states want to hear. 108 Yet even if this is so, that phenomenon ought best to be understood in the context in which the Court operates, instead of simply indicting the Court as a biased, subordinate institution. It is true that cannot always come to a case dispassionately and with only knowledge of the case that is put before a court.…”
