ASIL International Legal Theory Interest Group
ASIL Interest Groups are organized by ASIL members for focused activity
in particular fields of international law. Membership in ASIL is
required for membership in ASIL Interest Groups.
The purpose of the International Legal Theory Interest Group is
to give members an opportunity to exchange and develop ideas on
theoretical issues all too neglected in the fields of international
law and international relations. Debate amongst members of the group
is encouraged through the publication of the journal International
Legal Theory. Each issue contains a lead article by a noted scholar,
published together with commentary from Interest Group members to
provide a forum of debate among scholars. The group also regularly
sponsors panels at the ASIL Annual Meeting, and seeks to engage
scholars from other disciplines in discussions and debates concerning
international legal theory.
