Socio-legal scholars these days devote themselves routinely to the study of international law. It was not always thus. In the late twentieth century, no more than a handful of law-and-society scholars asked themselves how international law worked. Even fewer ventured into the field. John Hagan was one of those who did and the first sociologist to study empirically—and rigorously—what we now call international criminal law. In this article, I use Hagan’s oeuvre to reflect on the intellectual history of international legal scholarship in the twenty-first century. I argue that Hagan brought three things to the study of international law: criminology, methodology, and ideology. I trace each of these contributions in detail, assess their intellectual import, and relate them to alternative ways of seeing international law. The story I tell is of a pioneering scholar who charted an empirical path toward the sociology of international law, but whose moral compass—acquired during his socialization in the Vietnam era—also occasionally blinded him to the dark sides of virtue.

走向国际法社会学：约翰·哈根及其他人

如今，社会法律学者经常致力于国际法的研究。情况并非总是如此。在二十世纪末，只有少数法律与社会学者问自己国际法是如何运作的。冒险进入这一领域的人就更少了。约翰·哈根是这样做的人之一，也是第一位对我们现在所说的国际刑法进行实证研究和严格研究的社会学家。在本文中，我利用哈根的著作来反思二十一世纪国际法律学术的思想史。我认为哈根为国际法研究带来了三样东西：犯罪学、方法论和意识形态。我详细追溯了这些贡献中的每一项，评估了它们的知识重要性，并将它们与看待国际法的其他方式联系起来。我讲述的故事是关于一位先驱学者的故事，他为国际法社会学绘制了一条实证道路，但他在越南时代的社会化过程中获得的道德指南针有时也让他看不到美德的阴暗面。
