Dr. Beckett argues that the lack of materiality in Public International Law (PIL) engenders an unbearable mass of “legally cognizable materials”, huddled indiscriminately together; and not subject to any authoritative ranking or evaluation. Thus we have no right to expect our analyses to lead to coherent results. PIL is not actually a thing, but a conflictual mass of discrete communities. Each with its own standards for norm-recognition, interpretation, and competent legal argument. He will reflect on the simple existence of these chaotically co-existing communities in PIL; particularly in light of its lack of material existence or effect. There are many different ways of “doing” PIL. These have varying levels of prestige in specific settings. But none is more (in)competent than any other.
