The International Political Thought of Carl Schmitt: Terror, Liberal ...

Plettenberg, ‘an hazardous undertaking [and a] fervent hope’ (2003: 39). More
modestly, our hope is that this volume makes clear why, and how, a critical
engagement with the international political thought of Carl Schmitt can help us
to move through the complexities of this hazardous undertaking, which is not
likely to leave us soon; more fervently, our hope is that this work might encourage
more creative thinking, more astute than this book can offer, to go ‘beyond
Schmitt’ in the search for a new nomos of the earth.
Notes
1 For an initial engagement with Schmitt’s international thought see Stirk (2005) as well
as the special issues of the Leiden Journal of International Law (2006), South Atlantic
Quarterly (2005) and Constellations (2004). See also the special issue on ‘Theory of
the Partisan’ in CR: The New Centennial Review (2004).

(1998), Müller (2003), Scheuerman (1999), Cristi (1998), McCormick (1999), Balakrishnan
(2000), Kennedy (2004).
3 For an exhaustive critical presentation of the main arguments of Schmitt’s The Nomos
of the Earth see Ulmen (2003).
