Contents:

Introduction : the ideas of "international" crime and justice -- On international crime, justice and community -- "Rwanda" : the production of a global event -- International crime as spectacle : scale, subjectivity, ethics -- The ideal of international criminal justice : transcendence, otherness, myth -- Conclusion : community beyond crime : untethering international crime, justice and community.

Summary: "Through an analysis of archival and contemporary data, Imagining the International provides a detailed picture of how ideas of international crime (crimes against all humanity) and global justice are given content, foregrounding their ethical limits and potentials. Nesam McMillan argues that dominant approaches to these ideas problematically disconnect them from the lived and the specific and foster distance between those who have experienced international crime and those who have not."
