One year ago in this Journal Carty offered a reassessment of Schmittʼs writings on international law, in an attempt to present them as a still valuable theoretical tool in a contemporary critical discourse on (neo)liberalism. Cartyʼs proceedings, thought provoking as they may be, is unconvincing, because Schmittʼs views on international law are indissolubly tied up with Nazi ideology and political purposes. Paradoxically a transfer in our time of Schmittʼs Großraum concept provides a less critical argument against neoliberalism than at the best a dubious bolster to it.
