Extract

My thesis is that our problem is not a lack of law but a surfeit of law, that the situation of international political culture at the moment is not one in which we need to worry about making the legal culture more dense, rather that we should worry about finding sites and opportunities for increasing the possibility for politics, for contestation of the outcomes and procedures of the existing legal regime. The difficulty is how to do that. How does one build the possibility for politics, progressive or otherwise, in such a technocratic decision-making structure?
