Authoritarian International Law: An Unfinished Research Odyssey

Authors

Abstract

The concept-rich international legal space has expanded in the past few years by incorporating the notion that there is a distinct form of internationalaw possessing authoritarian traits. This notion stands in contrast with the time-honored mainstream variant which is assumed to have liberal-democratic roots and dispositions. A product of the current decade, authoritarian international law has nevertheless left a palpable mark on international legal theory and is believed to have materially reshaped the international legal landscape. The primary aim of this Article is to summarize the achievements made in analyzing the dimensions of this new concept and its considerable practical implications, with a view to suggesting some additional lines of inquiry.
