- This research monograph articulates an entirely novel critique of international law and of its self-referential modes of justification. Never have the structures of international law been dissected with such a degree of detail. Every main doctrine of international law is scrutinized in a way that shows the self-referentiality of its formal components. The book makes use of very novel and multi-layered framework of analysis, drawing on linguistics, semiology, sociology and political philosophy. The breadth of the materials is outstanding, as is confirmed by the footnotes and the bibliography.
