Buitendag, Nicolaas, author. States of exclusion : A Critical Systems Theory Reading of International Law / Nicolaas Buitendag. Durbanville, South Africa : AOSIS, 2022. 1 online resource (xiii, 216 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Description based on publisher supplied metadata and other sources. "The theoretical underpinnings of public international law have taken the sovereign status of the nation-state for granted since the beginning of the modern era. After centuries of evolution in legal and political thought, the state's definition as a bounded territorial unit has been strictly codified. The legal development of the nation-state was an ideological project informed by extra-legal considerations. Additionally, the ever-narrowing scope of the juridical idea of sovereignty functioned as a boundary mechanism instrumental in colonising Africa and other regions. While international law claims universal liberalism today, the current system based on sovereign nation-states represents not social inclusion but fierce and dangerous exclusion.The central thesis of this book is that the development of legal sovereignty was, rather than part of the modernist progress narrative, a historically contingent evolutionary regression. While other social systems such as economics and science became globalised, politics and law counterintuitively became more territorialised. It is argued that the nation-state today is not only anachronistic but is dangerously ill-equipped for facing international problems such as the climate crisis or global pandemics. Finally, it also leaves African states and many other formerly-colonised territories at a particular disadvantage by regulating their political practices into a predefined mould". The triad of international law, politics and science -- Theoretical foundations -- The origins of the state -- Sovereignty and world society -- Case study one: law, political power and borders -- Case study two: law, scientific truth and maps -- A ⁰́₈legacy of excess⁰́₉: the nation-state as an ideological artefact.
