- This chapter foregrounds questions of methodology, showing how posthuman feminism can be used as a theoretical and methodological approach in international law. It sets out some fundamentals about what posthuman feminism is and does and what methods international legal scholars and practitioners working with posthuman theory – feminist and otherwise – use. Two arguments are pursued in the chapter. First, it is argued that posthuman theory is both a discursive-linguistic and a material mode of analysis. This is not a novel argument, yet it serves as timely a reminder against the incidental forgetting of a fundamental part of the theoretical and methodological design. Second, the chapter moves on to argue that – and show how – posthuman feminism can help international legal scholars and practitioners employ new ways of seeing and sensing the contemporary world: to cut the frames of analysis differently, and to probe international law’s categories in new ways to reconsider and reconfigure dichotomic and hierarchical notions of oppression, exclusion and predatory violence towards more inclusive and less violent ends. For these purposes, posthuman feminism avails a navigational tool for anyone seeking to make the world a better place, in our own time, as international lawyers or otherwise.

- In this introduction to the edited volume International Law and Posthuman Theory posthuman theory is situated as sitting between the convergence of, on the one hand, critical post-humanism, i.e., the critique of the white, heterosexual, able-bodied man as the central focus of Western thought (including legal thought) and post-anthropocentrism on the other, i.e. the idea that the human sits in hierarchy over nature, matter, non-human animals and machines. Drawing on the growing body of posthuman international legal scholarship, the introduction shows how posthuman theory may be helpful to international law and legal analyses as well as how this body of scholarship enters into conversation with related concerns and ongoing debates in international law. Positioning the chapters of the volume in context of both posthuman and international legal scholarship and practice, this introduction, moreover, provides concrete examples of how to approach some of the most pressing concerns of our own time.

- This chapter analyzes developments in international tax law, invoking Barad’s posthumanist agency. Beginning with the conventional narratives of tax sovereignty underlying academic and institutional debates on corporate income tax (CIT) law, the chapter explores how a posthumanist account may sublate these narratives through their assumptions and premises. Focusing on posthumanist agency in international tax law, the chapter shows how tax sovereignty is not only defined by its autonomy but also by the legal regimes through which it is invoked. Where tax sovereignty and ‘tax competition’ are commonly described in international tax scholarship as the structuring forces of CIT law, a posthumanist account questions the naturalization of both. The result is a discussion of the agency and motive of economically powerful states in bringing about a global legal infrastructure that enables both tax competition and large-scale profit shifting by multinational enterprise. Moreover, some previously underexplored, tentative implications of the OECD/G20 global minimum tax are discussed. Heavily limiting withholding taxing rights and seeking to align the concept of permanent establishment with that of the OECD model tax convention, the ‘global’ tax base of the minimum tax presents a counterforce to otherwise promising attempts by non-OECD states at enhancing their taxing powers.
