{"product_id":"9781139610292","title":"Non-Legality in International Law: Unruly Law","description":"International lawyers typically start with the legal. What is a legal as opposed to a political question? How should international law adapt to the unforeseen? These are the routes by which international lawyers typically reason. This book begins, instead, with the non-legal. In a series of case studies, Fleur Johns examines what international lawyers cast outside or against law - as extra-legal, illegal, pre-legal or otherwise non-legal - and how this comes to shape political possibility. Non-legality is not merely the remainder of regulatory action. It is a key structuring device of contemporary global order. Constructions of non-legality are pivotal to debate in areas ranging from torture to foreign investment and from climate change to natural disaster relief. Understandings of non-legality inform what international lawyers today do and what they refrain from doing. Tracing and potentially reimagining the non-legal in international legal work is, accordingly, both vital and pressing.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47131694956784,"sku":"9781139610292","price":19.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781139610292_p0.jpg?v=1763700961","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781139610292","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
