Synopsis
Pakistan and International Law: Dynamics of Identity and State Practice offers a pioneering exploration of Pakistan’s evolving relationship with international law.Framed through the lens of state identity, this volume critically examines how Pakistan, as a post-colonial and Muslim-majority state, has engaged with, adapted to, and influenced international legal norms across diverse domains – from the United Nations system to individual rights and environmental protection, interstate arbitration, right to development, security, water, taxation, and more. The book features contributions from leading scholars and practitioners, combining doctrinal analysis with critical perspectives rooted in Third World Approaches to International Law. It provides in-depth commentary on Pakistan’s legislative, judicial, and diplomatic practices, offering a rare state-specific study that fills a significant gap in international legal scholarship. Readers will gain a nuanced understanding of Pakistan’s legal landscape and its broader implications for global justice, legal pluralism, transnational legal discourses in internatonal law, and the future of international law. It offers valuable insights into how international law operates in diverse cultural and political contexts, and how state identity shapes – and is shaped by – global legal norms.The work will be of interest to academics, legal practitioners, policymakers, and students of international law, post-colonial legal studies, Islamic state practices, and South Asian geopolitics.
