Law as Violence
States, like individuals, interact as property owners
Violence — coercion — is at the heart of the commodity form: between equal rights, force decides
so –
Legal commodity-form as the structure of international law is violent

Law’s Capacity for Radical Change

H H
Content of international law manifested as bargaining power
Structure of international law forces non-hegemons to engage in sovereignty arguments, with assumptions of equality, in defence of hegemonic domination: an expression of ideational power
Can the content of international law be leveraged to dismantle its hegemonic structure?

1. How does the way international law is made help or hinder its use as a counter-hegemonic tool?
2. How should law confront hydro-hegemony and power inequalities?
3. How should law and activism approach issues of state sovereignty in hydro-hegemonic systems?
4. How does law serve as both a liberating tool of justice and an oppressive instrument of hegemony?
5. Can international law change, either in content or structure, to become more effective in countering harmful hydro-hegemonic realities? If so, how?
6. What is the role of international law in governing potentially hegemonic virtual water trades?
7. How can international law influence water resources distribution in aquifers and basins?
8. How might human rights discourses and systems help to redress hydro-hegemonic realities?

During this weekend, please…
Make your language accessible and your tone inviting
Notice how much you and others are (not) talking
Consider whose voices we aren’t hearing and which issues we aren’t addressing
