-
might even transcend the basic structure of regime politics altogether
-
and organize our world around global norms of justice
-
and international law. Is such a thing possible?
-
It can't be ruled out, but such a world, I would note--
-
let's just say a world administered by international courts of law,
-
by judges and judicial tribunals-- would no longer
-
be a political world. Politics only takes place
-
within the context of the particular.
