国际法的殖民和后殖民现实已被支配这一主题的传统学术的分析框架所掩盖。本文概述了国际法演变的历史，特别关注帝国主义塑造这一学科的方式。它认为，殖民主义，而不是一个边缘的学科关注，是核心的国际法的形成，特别是其创始概念，主权。它认为，国际法一直是由文明使命，管理和改造非欧洲人民的项目所推动的，而目前的反恐战争是这一项目的延伸。
Abstract The colonial and postcolonial realities of international law have been obscured by the analytical frameworks that governed traditional scholarship on the subject. This article sketches out a history of the evolution of international law that focuses in particular on the manner in which imperialism shaped the discipline. It argues that colonialism, rather than being a peripheral concern of the discipline, is central to the formation of international law and, in particular, its founding concept, sovereignty. It argues that international law has always been animated by the civilising mission, the project of governing and transforming non-European peoples, and that the current war on terror is an extension of this project.
