Steinl, Leonie

Zusammenfassung

The chapter introduces the concept of the book and the various perspectives presented therein. While situating the notion of hegemony in the context of international criminal law, the chapter lays down the central question that runs as a common thread through all of the contributions and establishes the importance of addressing plural perspectives on hegemonic tendencies and counter-hegemonic capacities of international criminal law and its institutions.
