But ought they adorn MFN with its normative halo? This article studies the historical emergence of the MFN-as-fundamental mythology. It shows that this mythology is the outcome of three controversial projects over the course of the twentieth century. Embedded historically, they reveal that much less than nondiscrimination, MFN has historically been the vector for drawing the boundaries across which discrimination operates, whether between imperial powers and colonies, or between the West and the East. It is only out of a relatively recent, and intellectually radical turn that MFN became synonymous with the very idea of a universalist, nondiscrimination-centric, international trade law. But that intellectual universe—ordoliberalism—now being past us, this Article asks what account can we offer of alternative norms that have structured international trade law.","PeriodicalId":47841,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of International Law","volume":"12 1","pages":"1-72"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147744073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Commission’s response, adopting “representativeness” to ensure geographic and demographic proportionality, while well-intentioned, could reflect a misalignment if this concept is applied formalistically. Unlike state-derived sources of law, teachings derive their authority from analytical rigor rather than representative mandates. This article argues that applying representativeness to scholarly works may misconceive their epistemological function within Article 38(1)(d). We propose a pluralist approach grounded in three interconnected arguments: epistemological (disrupting legalist assumptions about determinacy), dialectical (mediating between formal law and lived experience), and sociological (challenging inherited patterns of judicial reasoning). While acknowledging that both pluralism and representativeness remain susceptible to formalistic application, we suggest a purposive reading of “representativeness” that embraces pluralism as offering a more direct pathway to surfacing the assumptions embedded within legalist methodology.","PeriodicalId":47841,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of International Law","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146071686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
