Abstract

Abstract The Status of Law begins with the suspicion ‘that “law” might have become the problem rather than the solution, and this problem requires further analysis’. Given that law is a social construct, Kratochwil invites us to turn to the sites where this construction takes place. To bring the many constitutions and contestations of law to the fore, he conjures theoretical sparring partners to engage in nine meditations. The genius of this Symposium consists of inviting nine colleagues, each engaging with a different meditation, and inviting a tenth colleague to add this introduction as a way to engage the engagement. By doing practice on practice the Symposium does full justice Kratochwil's move towards looking at the practice ‘in the middle of things’. The resulting field day with Fritz is a piece of intellectual mastery compiled by ‘spirited members of the republic of letters’ that carries the reader along on a journey that reveals and addresses Kratochwil's suspicions about the problem with law. In the end, we know more through sharing the problem and partaking in the joy of addressing it.

与弗里茨的实地考察:研讨会简介

《法的地位》一书的出发点是怀疑“‘法’可能已经成为问题而不是解决方案，这个问题需要进一步分析”。鉴于法律是一种社会建构，Kratochwil邀请我们转向这种建构发生的地点。为了将法律上的诸多规定和争议展现出来，他召唤理论上的陪练进行九次冥想。这次研讨会的妙处在于邀请了9位同事，每个人都参与了不同的冥想，并邀请了第10位同事加入这个介绍，作为参与的一种方式。通过实践上的实践《会饮篇》完全公正地诠释了克拉托威尔关于“在事物中间”的实践的观点。由此产生的与弗里茨的田野之旅是一部由“文学界精神抖擞的成员”汇编的智慧杰作，它带领读者踏上了一段揭示和解决克拉托威尔对法律问题的怀疑的旅程。最后，通过分享问题和分享解决问题的快乐，我们知道得更多。

期刊介绍： Editorial board International Theory (IT) is a peer reviewed journal which promotes theoretical scholarship about the positive, legal, and normative aspects of world politics respectively. IT is open to theory of absolutely all varieties and from all disciplines, provided it addresses problems of politics, broadly defined and pertains to the international. IT welcomes scholarship that uses evidence from the real world to advance theoretical arguments. However, IT is intended as a forum where scholars can develop theoretical arguments in depth without an expectation of extensive empirical analysis. IT’s over-arching goal is to promote communication and engagement across theoretical and disciplinary traditions. IT puts a premium on contributors’ ability to reach as broad an audience as possible, both in the questions they engage and in their accessibility to other approaches. This might be done by addressing problems that can only be understood by combining multiple disciplinary discourses, like institutional design, or practical ethics; or by addressing phenomena that have broad ramifications, like civilizing processes in world politics, or the evolution of environmental norms. IT is also open to work that remains within one scholarly tradition, although in that case authors must make clear the horizon of their arguments in relation to other theoretical approaches.
