(In) dependent lives? International lawyers and the politics of statebuilding within the Palestinian advocacy field

Michelle Burgis-Kasthala

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This article transposes Bourdieus description of a juridical field to the cognate notion of an advocacy field, which I examine through the case of international lawyers working in Palestine. The discussion combines structural accounts of neoliberal state-building with individual narratives of advocates in Palestine to present a study on the dynamic nature of international legal discourse as grounded practice.
