Revitalizing Anthropological Approaches in International Law: From International Law to Global Law

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Revolutionary Approach to International Law

Abstract

Anthropological approaches in international law have been ignored for centuries. The main area of interest is to emphasize indigenous peoples and account for their vulnerabilities in the development of international law. However, shifting from the ideology behind the concept of international law to global law is a crucial debate, for example, global human rights law, global criminal law, global administrative law, global environmental law, global health law, and the law of global governance. This chapter officially considers revitalizing anthropological approaches for rethinking and relearning the international legal spaces. Moreover, it provides a comprehensive understanding of global legal pluralism in terms of the widely accepted current development of global legal thinking and pedagogies. Overall, this chapter provides an introduction to transforming the global concept of justice.
