This article attempts to chart out an account of the relationship between international law, capitalism and race through the commodity-form theory. It begins with a discussion of the typical (liberal) approach to racism in international law, outlining its flaws. It then proceeds to explore how Marxists have understood the relationship between racism and capitalism, arguing that this fundamentally impacts upon the structure of international law. Setting this in the context of Pashukanis’ work, the piece reconstructs that theory to demonstrate how it can help conceptualise the deep structural inter-relations between capitalism, racism and international law.
