 |
| Anteprima |
For
decades, Martti Koskenniemi has not just been an influential writer in
international law; his work has caused a significant shift in the
direction of the field. This book engages with some of the core
questions that have animated Koskenniemi's scholarship so far. Its
chapters attest to the breadth and depth of Koskenniemi's oeuvre and the
different ways in which he has explored these questions. Koskenniemi's
work is applied to a wide range of functional areas in international law
and discussed in relation to an even broader range of theoretical
perspectives, including history, political theory, sociology and
international relations theory. These invaluable insights have been
expertly brought together by the volume editors, who identify the key
and common themes of many of the book's contributions. This volume
demonstrates the importance of critical legal scholarship in the ways
international law is enacted, shaped and reshaped over time.
