Jean d'Aspremont, The Critical Attitude and the History of International Law, Brill Publishers, 2019, Brill research perspectives ( International legal theory and practice ), 60 p.
La 4ème de couv. indique : "This book questions the critical attitude that is informing the critical histories that have been flourishing since the 'historical turn' in international law. It makes the argument that the 'historical turn' falls short of being radically critical as the abounding critical histories which have come to populate the international literature over the last decades continue to be orchestrated along the very lines set by the linear historical narratives which they seek to question and disrupt, thereby repressing the imagination of international lawyers. It makes the point that the critical histories that have accompanied the 'historical turn' have contributed to the repression of disciplinary imagination just like other linear disciplinary histories. This book argues that the critical histories must move beyond a mere historiographical attitude and promotes radical historical critique in order to unbridle disciplinary imagination."
Jean d'Aspremont, Jean d'Aspremont, Sahib Singh, Sahib Singh (dir.), Concepts for international law: contributions to disciplinary thought, Edward Elgar Publishing, 2019, 945 p.
Présentation de l'éditeur : "Concepts allow us to know, understand, think, do and change international law. This book, with sixty chapters by leading scholars, provides a nuanced guide to those concepts of historical significance for international law, as well as those that have become central to how we think about the discipline. In select cases this book also offers some new concepts, seeking to address familiar concerns that have not been fully articulated within the discipline. This unique book is the first expansive exploration of concepts that have become historically central to the discipline. It allows us to appreciate how order, struggle and change play out in international law and legal thought, and how these concerns of power implicate ethical considerations. Embracing a wide range of historical and theoretical approaches, this book hopes to ignite a renewed, fertile engagement between our concepts and the contemporary, precarious, conditions of international legal life. Thought-provoking, original and engaging, this book is essential reading for researchers, postgraduates and doctoral students in international law, legal history and legal theory. Academics in international relations, history, sociology and political thought will also find this an essential read."
Jean d'Aspremont, International Law as a Belief System, 133e éd., Cambridge University Press, 2018, Cambridge studies in international and comparative law, 169 p.
"The exposition of international law as a belief system is meant to serve critique and should be read as an invitation to international lawyers to temporarily suspend their belief system and unlearn some of their knowledge and sensibilities about the fundamental doctrines that they have been trained to reproduce and respond to. Exposing and suspending the international belief system constitutes the ambition of the discussion that follows"--
Jean d'Aspremont, Samantha Besson (dir.), The Oxford handbook on the sources of international law, Oxford University Press, 2018, Oxford handbooks Online
Résumé éditeur : "The question of the sources of international law inevitably raises some well-known scholarly controversies: where do the rules of international law come from? Through which processes are they made? How are they ascertained? Where does the international legal order begin and end? These traditional questions bear on at least two different levels of understanding. First, how are international norms validated as rules of international ‘law’, i.e. legally binding norms? This is the static question of the pedigree of international legal rules and the boundaries of the international legal order. Secondly, what are the processes through which these rules are made? This is the dynamic question of the making of these rules and of the exercise of public authority in international law. This book explores the various facets of the sources of international law. It provides a systematic overview of the key issues and debates around the sources of international law, including recent contestations thereof. It also offers an authoritative theoretical guide for anyone studying or working within but also outside international law wishing to understand one of its most fundamental questions."

Jean d'Aspremont, Epistemic forces in international law: foundational doctrines and techniques of international legal argumentation, Edward Elgar, 2015, Elgar international law, 263 p.
Présentation de l'éditeur : "Epistemic Forces in International Law presents a comprehensive examination of the methodological choices made by international lawyers and provides a discerning insight into the ways in which lawyers shape their arguments to secure validation within the international legal community. International law is defined in this book as an argumentative practice, articulated around a set of foundational doctrines and deployed through rhetorical techniques. Taking an original approach, Jean d’Aspremont focuses on five key foundational doctrines of international legal theory and five key techniques deployed in international legal argumentation. He argues that mastering these foundational principles and argumentative procedures shapes the discourse of international lawyers as much as these discourses shape these foundational doctrines and techniques of legal argumentation. This book is a pertinent contribution to the methodology and theory of international law, illustrating the rationale of the choices made by lawyers in the doctrines of statehood, sources, law-making, international organisations and effectivity. This accessible reflection on the conceptual, theoretical and methodological perspectives of international law will be a salient point of reference for legal academics, researchers and practitioners alike."
Jean d'Aspremont, Jörg Kammerhofer (dir.), International legal positivism in a post-modern world, Cambridge University Press, 2014, 540 p.
Présentation de l'éditeur : "International Legal Positivism in a Post-Modern World provides fresh perspectives on one of the most important and most controversial families of theoretical approaches to the study and practice of international law. The contributors include leading experts on international legal theory who analyse and criticise positivism as a conceptual framework for international law, explore its relationships with other approaches and apply it to current problems of international law. Is legal positivism relevant to the theory and practice of international law today? Have other answers to the problems of international law and the critique of positivism undermined the positivist project and its narratives? Do modern forms of positivism, inspired largely by the theoretically sophisticated jurisprudential concepts associated with Hans Kelsen and H. L. A. Hart, remain of any relevance for the international lawyer in this 'post-modern' age? The authors provide a wide variety of views and a stimulating debate about this family of approaches."

Jean d'Aspremont, « Émergence et déclin de la gouvernance démocratique en droit international », 2009, pp. 57-80
Les années 1989-2010 peuvent être considérées comme une époque – sans précédent dans l’histoire du droit international au cours de laquelle la gouvernance – interprétée ici comme l’exercice de l''autorité publique au niveau national à travers des institutions plus ou moins centralisées – s’est vue réglementée par un nombre grandissant de règles de droit international. Cette évolution s''est notamment traduite par l’émergence d''une obligation relative à l''origine démocratique des gouvernements. Cette obligation a été qualifiée dans la doctrine américaine de «principe de légitimité démocratique » . Toutefois, l’importance géostratégique acquise par certains États non démocratiques, la priorité désormais accordée à l’agenda sécuritaire, la crise économique de 2007-2010, ainsi que les instrumentalisations des politiques de démocratisation par certains pays occidentaux semblent avoir freiné la consolidation du principe de légitimité démocratique en droit international. En effet, le rôle que la démocratie a joué dans la pratique de la reconnaissance, la création d''États, les relations diplomatiques, la coopération économique, l''utilisation des forces multilatérales et l’accréditation au sein des organisations internationales semble s’être affaibli significativement, laissant présager la fin de cette époque toute singulière dans l’histoire du droit international. Après avoir brièvement décrit la consolidation (I) et l’affaiblissement contemporain (II) du principe de légitimité démocratique dans la pratique du droit international et la doctrine depuis 1989, cet article évaluera de manière critique les leçons tirées de cette période, en particulier s’agissant de la mesure dans laquelle le droit international est à même de réglementer la gouvernance au niveau national (III). Il se penchera enfin sur les diverses dynamiques qui ont traversé la doctrine ayant étudiée cette question au cours des deux dernières décennies (IV).
