This article revisits old contestation about international law’s
regionalist and universalist causes. First, formulated upon the “end of
history” narrative, the article analyses the concept of fragmentation as a
representation of the internal plurality of international law’s universality
and liberating condition for the Great Powers to “secure a region” as a
concrete spatial order. As a complement, it then conceptualizes the term
geopoliticization of international law and visualizes its consequences for
the normativity of regional international law. Secondly, the post-Soviet
Eurasian space is examined based on both narratives of internal
fragmentation and geopoliticization, which leads to the depiction of
Eurasian international law.
