| Abstract | Since its founding, the London Review of International Law has celebrated and supported critical, innovative work that contributes to reshaping the contours of international legal scholarship. We are pleased to publish these short essays—produced relatively rapidly as responses to an unfolding event of international concern—in ‘section three’ of the Review, an occasional journal space reserved for opinion, translation, and reflection. The interventions that follow reflect a wide range of views and vary markedly in form and style—from the poetic to more familiar scholarly expositions—and in register—from speculative contemplations to trenchant philippics. The resulting collection takes in a wide span of positions mirroring the heterogeneity of our critical legal community; considerable disagreements abound, from the utility of law and legal argument to the historical specificity of the present conjuncture to the characterisation of events in Gaza.
The collection is organised thematically, albeit loosely—Palestine and law, Palestine and discourse, Palestine and the world, Palestine and history, Palestine and the academy. Few of the reflections, though, sit neatly within any single category and, rather than impose thematic boundaries on readers, we have eschewed sectional headings. All texts were finalised in late June. |
