International Law
| Vai alla copia |
Written by one of the world's leading
international lawyers, this is a landmark publication in the teaching of
international law. International law can be defined as 'the rules governing the
legal relationship between nations and states', but in reality it is much more
complex, with political, diplomatic and socio-economic factors shaping the law
and its application. This refreshingly clear, concise textbook encourages
students to view international law as a dynamic system of organizing the world.
Bringing international law back to its first principles, the book is organised
around four questions: where does it come from? To whom does it apply? How does
it resolve conflict? What does it say? Building on these questions with both
academic rigour and clarity of expression, Professor Klabbers breathes life and
energy into the subject. Footnotes point students to the wider academic debate
while chapter introductions and final remarks reinforce learning.
