    “Globalising Sovereignty”? Pettit's Neo-Republicanism, International Law, and International Institutions
    in Cambridge Law Journal (The) , Volume 74 - Issue 03 ,  2015
    This article explores Philip Pettit's recent attempts to extend his republican theory of justice and legitimacy to the international sphere in accordance with his ideal of “globalised sovereignty”, with a specific focus on his treatment of international law and institutions. It uses the practice of international law and institutions, with examples largely drawn from international economic law, to test the assumptions built into Pettit's theory. It then considers whether and how some of those assumptions might need to be revised in light of the legal, institutional, and practical constraints of the international domain.
