Description: In Political Theology and International Law, John D. Haskell offers an account of the intellectual debates surrounding the term 'political theology' in academic literature concerning international law. Beneath these differences is a shared tradition, or genre, within the literature that reinforces particular styles of characterising and engaging predicaments in global politics. The text develops an argument toward another way of thinking about what political theology might offer international law scholarship-a politics of truth.
