Abstract

   Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) is a movement encompassing scholars and practitioners of international law and policy who are concerned with issues related to the global South in its broad conception. 
 
   In this publication, three TWAIL-affiliated scholars (Julia Dehm, Carmen G. Gonzalez, and Usha Natarajan) respond to questions about international law praxis at a time of systemic social, economic, and ecological meltdown -- including explosive economic inequality, COVID-19, catastrophic climate change, unprecedented species extinction, toxic masculinity, resurgent white supremacy, and the threats to life and health posed by polluted air, contaminated water, and destruction of the planet's ecosystems. 
 
   This publication is based on a keynote event organized by Rose Parfitt, Luis Eslava, and Marcus Gunneflo, co-directors of the International Law and Politics Collaborative Research Network, at the 2021 Law and Society Annual Meeting on 27 May 2021.
