  • More about Subalterns and International Law: A Political Critique

This book explores how international laws impact relations between dominant and subordinate groups, charting their role in reproducing, legitimating, and transforming systems such as capitalism, racism, and imperialism. It examines 4 distinct moments: when law structures society, when rules and institutions are formally used, when law influences ideological positions, and when law is used to defend political claims.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 304 pages
Publication date: 10 August 2023
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC


This comprehensive book delves into the intricate interplay between international laws and the dynamics of dominant and subordinate, or subaltern, groups. It offers a theoretical analysis of the profound impact of these laws on the relations between these groups. Through a detailed examination, the book charts the laws' role in the reproduction, legitimization, and transformation of systems such as capitalism, racism, and imperialism. It explores four distinct moments: when law structures society; when rules and institutions are formally employed; when law influences ideological positions; and when law is utilized to defend political claims.

The book unveils the law as a powerful tool that actively promotes the reproduction and legitimation of subordination. By presenting a fresh perspective, this work will appeal to scholars and researchers in the fields of international law and international relations, offering valuable insights into the complex dynamics of power and inequality.
