Abstract
What would a Marxist-style class-theoretic account of international law look like? This paper, delivered originally as a response to the keynote address by B.S. Chimni at the 2008 Critical Legal Conference, represents essentially an attempt to explore this question. It has a critical dimension and a programmatic dimension. In the first case it asks: what are the main challenges confronting the general CLS movement, and the international law CLS movement in particular, and how can the Marxist tradition of class-theoretic analysis help resolve them? In the second case it asks: in what direction should the main thrust of the class-analytic re-theorization of modern international law proceed and what kind of theoretical resources can one rely on in that enterprise were one to start it today? An extended version of this paper was later published in the Finnish Yearbook of International Law.
