“…It is fundamentally misguided to think of law itself as animated by and saturated with a desire for universal justice. The cavalier disdain of George W. Bush and Tony Blair for submitting themselves to U.N. oversight is not merely a reaction to the vagaries of 9/11; this disdain is by no means an exception warranted by the particular conditions of this decade (Bhuta 2003). Major Western states have typically supported international law regimes in their actions toward one another, but have consistently ignored those legal regimes in favor of unilateral goals when dealing with developing countries.…”

For some time now, the authors have contemplated the law's dark side. It seems that international law, while having many practical implications for the application of justice, can be invoked to justify everything from profiteering to persecution to invasion. For us, the implications of this paper transcend academic analysis, suggesting that we strive to embody and promote mechanisms of peacemaking and informal social control, so as to lessen the law of command and control and its impact on our lives.

“…A ideia dos criadores da Carta da ONU era a da manutenção da integridade territorial e a independência política (já presentes em Westphalia) para todos os Estados soberanos. De acordo com Bhuta (2003), a postura e os pronunciamentos realizados pelo governo Bush levaram a uma perspectiva de que, na ordem internacional, o Direito se tornou apenas uma consideração política a ser resolvida com outras; não se tratava de uma obrigação compulsória, apenas quando estava voltada para o inimigo, cujos atos de ilegalidade precisariam ser repreendidos de maneira feroz.…”

Containing the Kantian revolutions: a theoretical analysis of the neo-conservative critique of global liberal governance. Review of International Studies, 36, pp 533-560Abstract. This article examines the neo-conservative critique of global liberal governance. It provides a theoretically oriented assessment of the neo-conservative case against international law and human rights regimes, and draws out the main political and ethical implications for American democracy and American foreign policy. It is argued that the neo-conservative critique of global governance rests upon an interpretation of the normative order that weaves together democracy, individual rights and national autonomy through a volatile identity politics which is fundamentally at odds with both the pluralist character of 'Westphalian diplomacy' and the universal order of rights envisaged by advocates of global governance. More than just the policy autonomy of the US, what is really at stakes in those debates for neo-conservatives is the whole structure of cultural and socio-economic interests that is tied to the substantive interpretation of democracy upon which their domestic commitments to neo-liberal capitalism and liberal freedoms are predicated.
