Degterev, D.A. International legal and international political studies: the problems of synthesis

Abstract: In late years both in Russian and foreign international law science faces the spread of approaches, which are used in political studies of international relations. This work analyzes the genesis of this interrelation starting from late 1980s. The author discusses the main causes of interdisciplinary synthesis, including growing role of the “soft law” and spread of conflict resolution mechanisms base upon the internal law of the main international economic organizations (WTO, IMF, World Bank Group) and integration groups (the EU, the NAFTA, the EurAsEC, etc.). The article contains an overview of the main directions of borrowing, including diagnosing the main international problems, their structuring and searching for the international legal mechanisms for their solution, analysis of structure and functions of organization design of the existing international regimes and institutions, as well as international law as a whole. On each of these directions the author provides the key studies. The conclusion is made that spread of instruments of political science in the international law facilitates its enrichment, formation of the fruitful interdisciplinary synthesis, allowing for the multifaceted analysis of international reality.

Keywords:

Jurisprudence, international law, international relations, interdisciplinary approach, methods of legal studies, synthesis of international law and international relations, soft law, international organizations, international regimes, global administration.
