Abstract

Law needs Power for enforcement of its rules; Power utilizes Law for creating conditions of stability that enhance its salience. Yet when the New Haven school tries to include international law in its power-oriented view of international relations, it ends up with a misleading two-dimensional descriptivism.

Keywords: power, law, international law, actors, New Haven school, McDougal, Reisman, Lasswell, D'Amato, descriptivism
