The New World Politics and the Law

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  28 March 2017

Abstract

It is a custom of this Society to allow its President each year a few moments for his say. On occasion, this has thrown up gems for thought, such as Harold Lasswell’s essay of a year ago. Today may be a different matter. But tradition must be served.

There is really nothing one could add to the patent for this organization which Professor Lasswell laid down last year. So I propose a few reflections about the broader topic of the new world politics, and what it may mean for our chosen calling, of which this Society is, of course, the central professional institution.
