Utopia without Apology: Form and Imagination in the Work of Ronald St. John Macdonald

Summary

The word “utopia” is a pun on eu topos (a good place) and ou topos (no place). While utopia in the sense of eu topos refers to an ideal society and its realization, utopia in the sense of ou topos emphasizes a mode of narrative rather than a political goal. Traditionally, the utopian form is a traveller’s account of a visit to an imaginary country where the journey is either to a far-off land or to the distant future. This article offers an appreciation of Ronald St. John Macdonald as a practitioner, presenter, and promoter of the utopian form in international law. Beyond the ability of a particular eu-topia to confront us with a complete package of ideas for international law that would otherwise remain unimagined, ou-topia generally encourages comprehensive and radical thinking about international law’s future and perhaps even jolts us into a heightened consciousness of our creativity and potential for change. The article also touches on the corresponding disadvantages of utopias and speculates that Macdonald reconciles the advantages and disadvantages partly through the fact that the power of the utopian form is available even to those who have been historically and unjustly excluded from international law.

Sommaire

Sommaire

Le mot “utopie” est un jeu d’esprit entre eu topos (un endroit agréable) et ou topos (un endroit fictif ). Alors que le mot utopie dans le sens de eu topos fait référence à la société idéale et à sa réalisation, le mot utopie dans le sens de ou topos décrit davantage un mode narratif qu’un but politique. Traditionnellement, l’utopie est le récit que fait un voyageur de sa visite à un pays imaginaire, soit vers une terre lointaine soit dans un avenir éloigné. Cet article examine l’oeuvre de Ronald St. John Macdonald en tant que praticien, conférencier et promoteur d’une forme utopique de droit international. Si une eu-topie particulière peut nous proposer toute une série d’idées sur le droit international que nous pourrions difWcilement imaginer autrement, en général l’ou-topie encourage une analyse approfondie et radicale concernant l’avenir du droit international qui peut même stimuler une prise de conscience plus grande de notre créativité et des possibilités de changement. L’article souligne aussi les désavantages propres à ces utopies et spécule que Macdonald réconcilie les avantages et les désavantages en partie du fait que le pouvoir de l’utopie est accessible même aux personnes qui historiquement ont été injustement exclues du droit international.

This seminar is devoted to an intensive examination and evaluation of the fundamental norms of contemporary international law. In particular, it will explore the extent to which a hierarchy of norms exists in international law and the interrelationship between superior and subordinate principles and rules. The impact of the Covenant of the League of Nations, the Charter of the United Nations, the doctrine of jus cogens, and the erga omnes doctrine will be examined with a view to identifying and analyzing the significance of basic constitutional features of the international legal order.

Towards a Constitutional International Law, Craig Scott’s choice of title for his forthcoming edited collection of Macdonald’s work, also signals Macdonald’s interest in this quality of international law.
