About this ebook
The book Tracing Value Change in the International Legal Order: Perspectives from Legal and Political Science (2023), co-edited by Heike Krieger and Andrea Liese, explores how contemporary global challenges and attacks on the liberal international order affect the fundamental values embedded in international law. [1, 2]
By merging legal scholarship with international relations (political science), the volume systematically evaluates whether core legal norms are eroding, adapting, or remaining resilient. [1, 2]
The book is structured around theoretical frameworks and specific empirical case studies, covering the following primary topics:
Conceptual and Methodological Frameworks
  • Theories of Value Change: Interdisciplinary frameworks to analyze how norms change in legal substance versus social or political validity. [1, 2]
  • Peremptory Norms (Jus Cogens): A specific look by Erika de Wet at whether hierarchically superior norms successfully shield fundamental values from eroding. [1]
  • Norm Contestation and Resilience: Tools to track how norm violations, challenges by revisionist states, and defenses by "norm champions" impact the international rule of law. [1, 2, 3]
Case Studies: Foundational Post-1945 Norms
  • The Prohibition of Torture: Examining the erosion, re-interpretation, and social validity of the torture ban (especially post-9/11). [1, 2]
  • The Prohibition of the Use of Force: Assessing challenges to jus ad bellum and UN Charter frameworks regulating state-on-state violence. [1, 2]
  • Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons: Analyzing the durability of global security architecture under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). [1, 2, 3]
Case Studies: Post-1990 Rise and Expansion Norms
  • Accountability for International Crimes: Evaluating the evolution and political contestation surrounding the International Criminal Court (ICC) and international criminal justice.
  • The Protection of Women’s Rights: Scrutinizing standard-setting, gender equality frameworks, and the pushback from anti-gender or conservative political actors.
  • Sustainability and Environmental Norms: Tracing value shifts in international environmental law and global governance toward sustainability obligations. [1, 2, 3, 4]
