Abstract

ABSTRACT “A legal system exists,” Joseph Raz claims, “if and only if it is in force.” By this he means to suggest that the efficacy of law—that is, its capacity to control the population to which it applies—is necessary for its identity as such. Despite widespread recognition that efficacy is a condition of the existence of law, however, little time has been spent analyzing the notion. This article begins an attempt to make up the deficit. I make the case for efficacy as necessary for law and go on to develop and defend an account of the concept that is broadly Kelsenian in spirit. In doing so I address questions concerning the relationship between obedience and enforcement in an account of the existence of a legal system as well as relating the discussion to that concerning the ontological status of international law.

功效状况

摘要“一个法律体系是存在的，”Joseph Raz声称，“前提是它是有效的。”他的意思是说，法律的效力——也就是说，它控制适用人口的能力——对于它的身份是必要的。然而，尽管人们普遍认识到效力是法律存在的条件，但很少花时间分析这一概念。这篇文章开始试图弥补赤字。我认为效力是法律所必需的，并继续发展和捍卫一种在精神上广泛属于凯尔塞尼安的概念。在这样做的过程中，我讨论了关于服从和强制执行之间关系的问题，以说明法律制度的存在，并将讨论与关于国际法本体论地位的讨论联系起来。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
