Indeterminacy in International Law and the Global Legal Order - Assistant Professor Jason Beckett (Episode 13)

As a concept, indeterminacy reflects the idea that the rules of international law cannot be identified nor their content determined with certainty. This episode explores the argument that Public International Law is indeterminate and has created systems through which global justice can be pursued but not achieved. Assistant Professor Jason Beckett studied law at the universities of Dundee (LLB) and Glasgow (LLM and PhD); and taught at the Universities of Newcastle and Leicester. At the American University in Cairo, Jason has taught courses in Public International Law, International Human Rights, Legal Perspectives on the Question of Palestine, and Jurisprudence; and supervised many dissertations in related areas.  Jason has delivered presentations in Africa, Australasia, Europe, and America, often to some acclaim.
