SUMMARY:Polycritical Law | Day 2
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \n\nThis event operates on a first come first serve basis\, Ticket does not guarantee entry. Please arrive slightly early to secure your seat. \nSomewhere in the overlapping space where the Covid pandemic ended and the Russia-Ukraine war began\, the neologism ‘polycrisis’ began to gain currency. The term represents the present as a period of multiple crises—no sooner had one significant problem been ‘managed’ than another reared forth Hydralike: finance\, pandemic\, war\, more war\, inflation—a sort of stream of crisisness. Major crises are pockmarked with lesser ones—austerity\, migration\, inflation\, supply chain shortages\, populism\, tariff hikes\, coups. Foreseeable future crises wait in the wings: antibiotics\, microplastics\, AI\, Taiwan\, debt default. But all are also girdled by an overarching uber-crisis: global climate change; the now yearly havoc\, wildfires\, hurricanes\, heatwaves\, droughts—all worse than before and predictably worse again in future\, and all triggering their own critical knock-on effects (migration\, food shortages\, resource struggles over\, say\, rare earths\, lithium\, water). \nThe term ‘polycrisis’ might not stick\, but the phenomenon to which it refers has implications for the study of law and governance. Of course the notion of permanent crisis is not in itself new. Hillary Charlesworth famously identified international law as a discipline beholden to crisis in a seminal essay of 2002. And\, equally familiar\, much Marxist and post-Marxian critique assumes that capitalism necessarily generates crises. But this is something else: crisis is no longer incidental or exceptional\, but polymorphous and recurrent\, if nevertheless unpredictable. It seems to require of the state not so much a permanent state of ‘preparedness’ (to use a policy term from the early 21st C)\, but rather a diverse variety of tools and flexibility in invoking them. It seems to require of individuals their own tools and attitudes: resilience but also some resignation. The study of ‘polycritical law’\, then\, would be the study of specific technologies that have arisen around various iterations of crisis\, of the conditions of their emergence and justification\, and of their relationship to existing norms\, rules and principles. \nPolycritical Law Programme\nGetting to Club Quarters Hotel \nMore information about the event \nConfirmed Participants:  \nWouter Werner\nSofia Stolk\nLea Ypi\nDavid Chandler\nSuzana Sawyer\nIngo Venzke\nLaura Mai\nGeoff Mann\nVidya Kumar\nAndrew Lang\nDimitri Van Den Meerssche\nAndrea Leiter\nKanad Bagchi\nKebene Wodajo\nKerry Rittich\nMichelle Kelsall\nStephen Humphreys\nMarie Petersmann\nOllie Hailes\nMike Wilkinson\nRobert Wai \nDay 1 |  1pm – 5.30pm\nDay 2 | 9.30am – 4.15pm\nREGISTER HERE \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Revolutionary International Law in Revolutionary Times
DESCRIPTION:Opening Panel (9:30 – 10:45)  \nRevolutionary thought in international law\, international legal thought in revolutionary times.   \nWhat constitutes a revolutionary tradition in international law? How might that\, or those\, traditions respond to these revolutionary times? In what respects are international law and especially familiar critical programmes in the field (NAIL\, TWAIL\, Marxist International law) “revolutionary”? What is\, or might be\, the organisational form of a revolutionary movement? Do revolutions have their own laws? Is one of the laws of revolution that they must be law-destroying? \nAnd is international law an apt way to think about and change the world? Might violence\, or a disavowal of the international “rules based legal order” altogether\, be desirable in the face of the present and oncoming transformations (of capitalism\, of ecology\, of humanity). \nChair: Gerry Simpson\, London School of Economics \nDimitri Van den Meerssche\, Queen Mary\, University of London \nVidya Kumar\, School of Oriental and African Studies\, University of London \nAyca Cubukcu\, London School of Economics \nCoffee break (10:45 – 11:15)  \nSession 1:  Social aspiration as revolution: a legal enterprise (11:15 – 12:30) \nWhere are sites of resistance against legally sanctioned dispossessions? What possibilities might the rise of the 4th world (indigenous peoples\, peasants\, the occupied\, the ‘global south’) hold for international law? What work is human rights doing and undoing under demands for structural transformation and not just material remediation? What would it entail to decentre the state and the market but retain human rights\, to transcend the public/private binary in favour of commons institutions\, to approach social justice as the economy not in the economy\, as CB Macpherson famously quipped? This panel will locate the turn to social revolution in international law and situate its outer limits. \nChair: Margot Salomon\, London School of Economics \nMohsen Al Attar\, University of Warwick \nMai Taha\, London School of Economics \nManuel Branco\, University of Évora \nDiamond Ashiagbor\, University of Kent \nLunch (12:30 – 13:30)   \nThe rise and rise of climate justice in international law: revolution against all odds (13:30 – 14:45)  \nClimate justice is increasingly dominating global discourse. Striving for equitable distribution of burdens and responsibilities\, greater participation and recognition of diverse cultures and perspectives\, this panel unpacks how it has sought to revolutionise the international climate regime\, with vulnerable people and communities (youth\, indigenous peoples and developing countries – especially Small-Island States) protesting on the streets\, litigating before domestic and international courts\, or pushing for ‘loss and damage’ in multilateral conferences. Acknowledging the roles played by colonialism\, judicial politics\, geopolitical tensions and differentiation\, this panel debates whether this bottom-up movement can truly be called a revolution and discusses its prospects as global temperatures continue to rise. \nChair: Yusra Suedi\, University of Manchester \nJoana Setzer\, London School of Economics \nHarro van Asselt\, University of Cambridge \nNoah Walker – Crawford\, University College London \nSession 2   \nRevolution of the international economic order: is there a future for multilateralism? (14:45 – 16:00)  \nThe international economic order rests on multilateral rules and institutions that depend on compatible domestic and foreign economic policies. The prevailing expectation driving states to accept international frameworks that diminish their governance functions is that economic interdependence creates local economic growth and prosperity. But how resolute is multilateralism in revolting times to meet that expectation?  Shocks like war\, strategic emerging industries\, global warming\, and pandemics tests states’ adherence to international rules governing tax\, trade\, services\, and capital within the global economy. Is there a future for multilateralism against unpredictable dynamics like the growing demand for security\, resiliency\, and nationalism? \nChair: Mona Paulsen\, London School of Economics \nEduardo Baistrocchi\, London School of Economics \nAndrew Lang\, University of Edinburgh \nCeline Tan\, University of Warwick \nSergio Puig\, European University Institute \nCoffee break (16:00 – 16:30)  \nThe quiet revolution: attending to international law’s acoustics (16:30 – 17:45)  \nTraditional approaches to international law highlight sources and enforcement structures that have very little relevance to international law’s sites of application. This session will consider innovative theoretical and practical approaches that amplify voices and build effective mechanisms with the capacity to revolutionise international law’s creation\, development and enforcement. \nChair: Devika Hovell\, London School of Economics \nAlex Green\, University of York \nDoreen Lustig\, Tel Aviv University \nSurabhi Ranganathan\, University of Cambridge \nGuy Fiti-Sinclair\, University of Auckland \n21 September 2023  \nSession 3   \nWar and revolution in international trade and investment law (9:30 – 10:45) \nThe obligation to settle international disputes by peaceful means was supposed to supersede the use of force\, not least in cases of sovereign default or injury to aliens. Still\, economic adjudication has coevolved with internal and international armed conflict. Many disputes emerged from the Arab Spring\, whilst Ukraine and nationals brought claims before the WTO (Russia – Traffic in Transit) and investment arbitration (Stabil v Russia). This panel discusses the past and present of war and revolution in trade and investment disputes\, reflecting upon revolutionary or reactionary roles played by lawyers. \nChair: Oliver Hailes\, London School of Economics \nKathryn Greenman\, University of Technology Sydney \nMona Paulsen\, London School of Economics \nJure Zrilic\, City\, University of London \nDanae Azaria\, University College London \nCoffee break (10:45 – 11:15)  \nPolycritical law: order through disorder? (11:15 – 12:30)  \nA cogent piece in Le Monde Diplomatique recently described the emergence of ‘governance by crisis’—the sense that\, rather than ‘managing’ crises\, states increasingly appear to be relying on them to try out various new and—notably in the case of Covid-19—older-but-long-unseen methods and technologies of governance. This panel’s premise is that these governance apparatuses (i) need examination in their own right and (ii) undergird a wider context in which states\, individually and collectively\, increasingly present or perceive themselves to be in the business of serial or quasi-permanent crisis-navigation. If the art of government involves learning\, the panel’s question are: what has been learned through recent crises (financial\, pandemic\, cost-of-living\, war)? What might be applied\, what discarded\, as the Prince anticipates future crises: natural disasters\, new pandemics\, cyberthreats\, and—looming above all—climate change? \nChair: Stephen Humphreys\, London School of Economics \nTor Krever\, University of Cambridge \nIsobel Roele\, Queen Mary\, University of London \nCostas Douzinas\, Birkbeck\, University of London \nCharlie Peevers\, University of Glasgow \nClosing Roundtable: Changing Things (12:30 – 13:15)  \nMatthew Craven\, School of Oriental and African Studies\, University of London and others. \nLunch (13:15 – 14:15) \n\n\n	Related
