Title: International Law and International Relations Theory: A Dual Agenda
Abstract: Many international lawyers attempted to reconceptualize international law in relation to international politics, seeking to relate the two disciplines without sacrificing one entirely. This chapter describes the Institutionalist agenda, a research program already being pursued by prominent scholars in both disciplines. The Liberal agenda will require international lawyers to revise their most fundamental conceptions of the international system. The Liberal agenda complements the Institutionalist agenda as the study primarily of law among liberal states. In sum, the dual agenda is a unified agenda, offering powerful tools and a cornucopia of research opportunities for all students of international law and politics. The chief legal or jurisprudential response to the Realist challenge was the reconceptualization of the relationship between international law and politics. A corollary to the international legal process approach is the collection of empirical evidence demonstrating the role of international law in specific international crises.
