Since the middle of the 90s, the Third-World analysis of international law seems to experience a "new breath" in English literature, as the academic meetings of Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) at several universities clearly show. If TWAIL remain in continuity with the first wave of Third-World analyses, noticeable changes must be highlighted in the corpus produced so far. Indeed, TWAIL differs from the first Third-World theories on at least two points which are considered as the corner stones of international law: the conceptualization of State sovereignty & the principle of universality. It is the tension between continuity & discontinuity uniting the TWAIL to the first Third-World theories that this article aims to enlighten. Adapted from the source document.
