Content:
"This book is about home and international law. More specifically, it is about the profound, and frequently devastating, transformations of home that are happening almost everywhere in the world today, and what international law has to do with them. Through three stories of home - the desert home, the lake home, and the city home - this book traces how the everyday operations of international law shape the material, affective, and imaginative experience of home. It argues that international law's 'homemaking work' is characterised by acts of domination, practices of resistance, and the production of unhomely space. However, the book also considers whether and how the liberatory potential of international law could be unlocked through the metaphor of home. This book draws from fieldwork conducted by the author in Cambodia, Palestine, and the United Kingdom. It takes a global socio-legal approach to home and international law, informed by feminist political theory, feminist geography, home studies, and contemporary critical approaches to international law"--
