Re-examining the assumptions of international law

Digital Echoes brings together leading thinkers in international law and beyond to discuss implications of an ever-increasing digitisation of socio-economic life. In the first season which was published on Völkerrechtsblog we explored how Digital Technologies are changing and challenging the modes in which law and governance operate. With the second season of Digital Echoes, we expand the focus of our exploration of new normativities, lingering with ways of thinking and methodologies that open trajectories to (re-)examining the presuppositions and underlying assumptions of international law.
