A Shared Repertoire

Cambridge University Press eBooks, pp. 125–160

Abstract

This chapter addresses the suggestion that for a special regime to exist, community members must have a shared repertoire. In the context of international law, to claim that a group of international law specialists have a shared repertoire is to assert that they consider the use of certain rhetorical tools appropriate. As Chapter 5 argues, the existence of such a presupposition can be inferred from, amongst others, the use by specialists of distinct concepts, a distinct terminology, a distinct method, and distinct theories.
