    Math Noortmann, in a contribution that reflects the particular interdisciplinary take that he has been advocating in his work over the last few years, argues that, in order to understand and explain the role and position of all participants in the constitutive process of order and justice at the world level, we need inclusive concepts and theories. Internationalism is considered to defy that inclusiveness, as it is built upon the hegemonic position of the state. There are three potential solutions to the problem, which are all built upon existing approaches and theories, and which all assume a trans-disciplinary understanding of the problem

    The International Law Association and non-state actors

    No full text
    Drawing on his knowledge of the International Law Association, as well as his experience as the chairman of the ILA Committee on Non-State Actors, Math Noortmann provides a short historical overview of the institutional development of the ILA before critically assessing the ILA’s profile on the basis of scholarly opinions and qualifications. He then reevaluates the ILA and its work through the lens of the discourse on non-state actors, i.e. more particularly in the light of the debate on epistemic communities, providing sociological and interdisciplinary insights. He eventually provides a useful overview of the work of the ILA Committee on Non-State Actors
