Critical and Third World Approaches Since the 1990s, a range of alternative perspectives on international law have gained significant traction, including feminist (Charlesworth & Chinkin, 2000), (neo-)Marxist (Chimni, 2004, 1993; Knox, 2016; Tzouvala, 2020), and Third World approaches to international law (TWAIL; Anghie, 2023; Chimni, 2004, 2018, 2022; Gathii, 2011; Haskell, 2014; Mutua, 2000). Their defining characteristic is a focus on issues, dynamics, and historical processes traditionally marginalized by the other perspectives. At the theoretical level, they are animated by two distinct claims (Scicluna, 2021): that theories and concepts not only explain but also shape and re-shape reality, and that research should be emancipatory rather than merely descriptive. At the substantive level, critical approaches are concerned with revealing and exploring how the social, cultural, and economic inequalities and power structures that characterize international order have been justified and governed through international law and international legal argumentation.

Excited to share a new co-authored pub from me and Jeremy Kellen, hot off the press at the TWAIL Review.

TLDR: we place the hype around AI ~magic~ as part of a longer historical arc of imperial and colonial obfuscation & moves to innocence.

Please give it a read ✨

Research Handbook on 3rd World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL)
[Eds] Antony Anghie, B.S Chimni, @michaelfakhri.bsky.social hri.bsky.social, Karin Mickelson & Vasuki Nesiah
Contribs: @azizaahmed.bsky.social @seanmacr.bsky.social @leslava.bsky.social

Read the Intro: doi.org/10.4337/9781...
This Research Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) with chapters exploring different facets of TWAIL scholarship. It covers major doctrines and topics of international law, as well as TWAIL perspectives on central historical and theoretical debates. Expert authors present key insights into various themes that intersect with international law including economics, post-colonialism, religion, development, treaties, and human rights. The Research Handbook underscores the cornerstone concepts of TWAIL and examines their relationship with intellectual traditions such as Marxism and feminism. Contributing authors outline TWAIL’s perspectives on core areas of international law such as customary international law, treaties and human rights, as well as important contemporary issues, including debt, climate change, and public health. Ultimately, the Research Handbook showcases an expanded and enriched vision of international law, assessing how alternate methodologies can lead to a fairer legal system.

At dawn yesterday, Israeli forces targeted & demolished a building used as a school for children with special needs in the Abu Twail neighborhood of Aita al-Shaab, southern Lebanon.
That is just sick.

Last week, I attended a TWAIL conference organized by Profs. Sylvia Bawa & Okafor at @osgoode.bsky.social. Participants spanned the generations. So inspiring to meet so many of my intellectual heroes in the flesh, and to hear interventions from brilliant students. It felt like coming home.

New on the SLR Forum: Dr. Ashna Singh argues that TWAIL scholarship on international law ignores caste in its teaching, research and discourse and shows that caste is central to the TWAIL perspective for the critical perspectives it offers on South Asia.
