Rather than address \u2018warfare\u2019 and \u2018humanitarian intervention\u2019 as something actually occurring \u2018out there in the real world\u2019, this essay focuses on their functions within the text as a rhetorical device that helps constitute the structural conditions of disciplinary argument. In the face of what feels like escalating threats requiring immediate reaction, this essay seeks to demonstrate that it is instead exactly the right moment for reflection on the analytical toolkits that we take with us as partisans of a legal persuasion into given conflicts.<\/p>\n<p><a
