Can international legal rules determine an answer, or do they leave room for arguments that point in different directions? Severin Meier examines major accounts of legal determinacy and indeterminacy, asking how the meaning and practical force of international law emerge.
The book scrutinises influential theses developed since the 1920s. Rather than treating certainty as something supplied entirely by the language of a text or by a theory standing above legal practice, Meier investigates the role of practice itself in producing the range of available meanings. The discussion connects a longstanding question in legal philosophy with the ways legal norms are interpreted and used.
First published in November 2021, the complete monograph includes its introduction, extended analysis, conclusion, table of cases, and bibliography. It suits adult readers interested in jurisprudence, interpretation, and the foundations of international legal argument.
