But in regulating and preserving a stable global order in which states act as its main subjects, the traditional sources of international law â international legal statutes, customary international law, historical precedents and general principles of law â create a framework that slows down its capacity to act on contemporary challenges, and to imagine futures yet to come. In response, this collection maintains that posthuman theory can be used to better address the challenges faced by contemporary international law. Covering a wide array of contemporary topics â including environmental law, the law of the sea, colonialism, human rights, conflict and the impact of science and technology â it is the first book to bring new and emerging research on posthuman theory and international law together into one volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bookâs posthuman engagement with central international legal debates, prefaced by the leading scholar in the field of posthuman theory, provides a perfect resource for students and scholars in international law, as well as critical and socio-legal theorists and others with interests in posthuman thought, technology, colonialism and ecology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters 1, 9 and 11 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.taylorfrancis.com\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.taylorfrancis.com\u003c\/a\u003e under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“How do ‘we’ move beyond the Eurocentric, hetrosexist and humanistic binds of international law? As much critical scholarship has demonstrated, it is not through more law. This wide-ranging collection, written by some of the most exciting thinkers of international law and posthumanism, provides readers with ways of thinking otherwise – ways out of the binds.

They share one, empowering belief, which I take as axiomatic, namely that posthuman legal thought aims to critique the humanistic, Eurocentric, normative and heterosexist core of legal theory and practice, in order to make it more inclusive and less discriminatory. In so doing, they make room for the non-human, more-than-human entities, agents and subjects of our posthuman times. The intertwined critiques of humanism and anthropocentrism serve to illuminate contemporary patterns of power, subjugation, injustice and exploitation.
