How significant is a research in TWAIL in the present moment ? Will it be outdated in a couple of years ? Can someone tell me the current generation of TWAIL scholars ?
Aa gaye bade gyaani. The latest issue of EJIL (the most celebrated international law journal after AJIL) is a TWAIL issue. See the editorial here: https://academic.oup.coml/ejil/advance-article/doi/10.1093/ejil/chad059/7473376?login=true

EJIL is as mainstream as it gets, which has now said that TWAIL has become mainstream.
Bruh, none of the authors in the issue even need another publication, given their CV, let alone a pity publication. Matlab kuch bhi?
I am not talking about the authors but the school. The others don't need publication but the school of TWAIL needs publicity. Especially since it's the only school from the global south. Which is been given an issue only as a 'charity work' by EJIL. This is because the AJIL had refused to make TWAIL as the main focus of their issue, when talked about. There's a tussle between AJIL & EJIL, & this is just backstage politics going on to make their journals more credible than the other. There's a larger difference between the US & EU when it comes to how the future of IL should be governed, and the pity publication is to get more scholars on their side. Therefore the journals are have a pity party here. You naive little child, you need to grow up & see that not everything deserves credit just for being given the spotlight. Jab kuch pata nahi toh bolte nahi.

O wise old man, I will just leave this here: AJIL has had two issues on TWAIL. I highlighted EJIL because it was the most recent. The most recent AJIL TWAIL issue was on BS Chimni's book on customary international law.

International law itself is something quite redundant in a world in which Azeris are about to attack Armenia while the world watches

And you talk about TWAIL

At best it will get you an university job if you can show you are intersectional ;)
TWAIL feigns to be neutral but in reality it has always been pro USSR.
Tell me you do not know TWAIL without telling me you do not know TWAIL. TWAIL was not pro USSR but USSR was pro TWAIL because it was always an excellent opportunity for them to embarrass the West. That is why the USSR was always been pro-Global South at the UN when voting on resolutions and like, which many times have nothing to do with TWAIL or any other theory for that matter.
