Good-bye, Hobbes?
View through CrossRef
A specter is haunting international legal theory, and according to Monica Hakimi, it is the specter of Thomas Hobbes. It is not that there is widespread demand for a global leviathan to replace the many domestic ones. The Hobbesian specter, Hakimi argues, resides in the background, in the collective assumptions through which international lawyers see their own field, its successes and limits.
