BEYOND BACKLASH: THE CONSEQUENCES OF ADJUDICATING MEGA-POLITICS

This Article examines the implications of adjudicating mega-politics for the case at hand, for the larger mega-political issue, for the normative order of international law, for domestic politics, and for the international courts (ICs) that adjudicate these types of cases. While it offers a different angle on the question of ICs’ involvement in mega-political disputes than the other articles in this issue, it also provides a conclusion to this special issue: The International Adjudication of Mega-Politics. As such, its goal is to offer a more general account of the consequences of ICs’ embroilment in mega-political issues and disputes.
