奇纳·米维尔在其著作《平等权利之间：马克思主义国际法理论》中回顾了 20 年代俄罗斯法学家 E. B. 帕舒卡尼斯的著作，发展了一种商品形式的国际法理论。该理论与国际法律学术界的有影响力的潮流形成了有价值且富有启发性的对比。然而，本文认为，米维尔对国际法促进渐进变革的前景抱有不必要的负面态度。他的论文的核心是国际法是不确定的这一批判性见解。他认为，每一个主张都会有一个反主张，因此，法律主义（反帝国主义）最终是没有效力的。相比之下，本文认为，不确定性及其对立面确定性并不是国际法的属性。相反，它们是论证，其解放力量不是固定的，而是依赖于背景的。
In his book Between Equal Rights: A Marxist Theory of International Law, China Mieville revisits the work of 1920s Russian jurist E. B. Pashukanis to develop a commodity-form theory of international law. The theory serves as a valuable and instructive counterpoint to influential currents in international legal scholarship. However, this essay argues that Mieville is unnecessarily negative about the prospects for international law to contribute to progressive change. Central to his thesis is the critical insight that international law is indeterminate. He maintains that for every claim there is a counter-claim and legalistic [anti-imperialism] is therefore ultimately toothless. By contrast, this essay contends that indeterminacy and its antipode, determinacy, are not properties of international law. Rather, they are arguments, the emancipatory force of which is not fixed, but context-dependent.
