The role of law in international politics : essays in international relations and international law

This book examines the highly topical question of the role that international law plays in international politics today. It considers the character of international rules from a theoretical perspective, as well as examining the effects of those rules in a number of important practical contexts. A truly interdisciplinary work, it will be of interest to all teachers and students of international law and politics, as well as many non-specialists who are rapidly developing an interest in this increasingly high-profile field.
