This essay examines an emerging epistemological conjuncture between what might loosely be identified as two (primarily) academic camps: economists subscribing to "modern money theory" (MMT) and international lawyers associated with "critical" traditions within the discipline. For many legal scholars, my sense is that their current experience with MMT varies from "I think I have heard of that before" to "that state theory to money that pushes for a universal job guarantee." And many progressive economists familiar with MMT have not spent a significant time with the insights and sensibility of critical international law scholarship. My aim here is to explore where there might be fruitful collaboration between these communities.

From Kosovo and Iraq to Syria and Crimea, the specter of military intervention is a core theme within international law and policy literature. Rather than address 'warfare' and 'humanitarian intervention' as something actually occurring 'out there in the real world', 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.

Abstract
International law academics have increasingly turned to engage deliberately engage computer-oriented technologies. There is little work in the literature that reflects on how this engagement itself takes place, what it tells us about the state of the discipline, and the consequences of concentrating on the phenomena of digital technologies. This paper shares some possible conceptual taxonomies and theoretical concerns in disciplinary self-reflection about our digital futures.
