Criminal law was long considered as the sovereign domain of the state. However, after the end of the Cold War, states created new international criminal courts. These courts are part of a wider field of international criminal justice in which different elites work to develop, support, and critique legal ideas and practices that either complement or challenge the state. Inspired by Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology and based on a multiple correspondence analysis with sixty-four modalities, this article contributes a critical analysis of 365 elite agents active in this field. The analysis shows how different types and volumes of capital structure relations between these elites as well as between the field of international criminal justice and the state. Because these relations can turn state nobility against its national origins, international criminal justice poses a potential challenge to the state’s social fabric which goes beyond legal and political controversies: International criminal justice is emblematic of a competition over the value of and control over capital which plays out at the borders between the national and the international. This contest underlines that the state does necessarily control power over state capital and that, when its elites no longer reproduce its meta-capital, the state loses the semblance of being a unified actor on the world stage. Whereas the intensity of this contest over capital might be particular to the field of international criminal justice, similar battles of control are likely to affect the relations between the state and other globalized fields of law, justice, and politics.

国际刑事司法领域的国家贵族:分歧的精英与控制资本的权力争夺

长期以来,刑法一直被认为是国家的主权领域。然而,冷战结束后,各国设立了新的国际刑事法院。这些法院是更广泛的国际刑事司法领域的一部分,在这个领域中,不同的精英致力于发展、支持和批评补充或挑战国家的法律思想和实践。受皮埃尔·布尔迪厄 (Pierre Bourdieu) 社会学的启发,基于 64 种模态的多重对应分析,本文对活跃在该领域的 365 名精英代理人进行了批判性分析。分析显示了这些精英之间以及国际刑事司法领域与国家之间不同类型和数量的资本结构关系。因为这些关系可以使国家贵族反对其民族血统,国际刑事司法对超越法律和政治争议的国家社会结构构成潜在挑战:国际刑事司法象征着在国家和国际边界上展开的对资本价值和控制权的竞争。这场竞赛强调,国家确实必然控制着对国家资本的权力,而且当其精英不再复制其元资本时,国家就失去了在世界舞台上作为统一演员的外表。尽管这种资本争夺的激烈程度可能是国际刑事司法领域所特有的,但类似的控制权争夺很可能会影响国家与其他全球化法律、司法和政治领域之间的关系。
