For decades, Martti Koskenniemi has not just been an influential writer in international law; his work has caused a significant shift in the direction of the field. This book engages with some of the core questions that have animated Koskenniemi's scholarship so far. Its chapters attest to the breadth and depth of Koskenniemi's oeuvre and the different ways in which he has explored these questions.

These invaluable insights have been expertly brought together by the volume editors, who identify the key and common themes of many of the book's contributions. This volume demonstrates the importance of critical legal scholarship in the ways international law is enacted, shaped and reshaped over time.

OUVRAGE : W. Werner, M. de Hoon, A. Galán (eds.), The Law of International Lawyers: Reading Martti Koskenniemi

‘Words are politics. When vocabularies change, things that previously could not be said, are now spoken by everyone; while what yesterday seemed obvious, can no longer be said at all. With a change of vocabularies, new speakers become authoritative’. A few years ago, this is how Koskenniemi introduced his readers to an incisive critique of multi- disciplinary scholarship. Koskenniemi’s emphasis on the political nature of words served a specific purpose, to warn international lawyers against the siren song of objectivity and neutrality that can be found in some schools in international relations today. However, the insight that speak- ing a language is a political act through which worlds are created or foreclosed transcends the specific context of current debates on multi- disciplinarity. For one, it also applies to the words of Martti Koskenniemi himself.
