The second edition of International Law
reflects the breadth and diversity of contemporary public
international law. It draws on the knowledge and expertise of a broad
range of contributors actively involved in the current teaching and
practice of the discipline. These authoritative and stimulating
contributions present the essential elements of the international
legal system in a clear and accessible fashion and address key
questions that challenge many of the assumptions upon which that
system is founded.
Now revised and updated to include
coverage of developments in the subject since publication of the
first edition in 2003, International Law is an invaluable resource
for students of all levels following courses in international law,
politics, or international relations as part of their degree
programme, whilst also providing a key source of reference for
practitioners and academics alike.
Readership: Undergraduate and
postgraduate students taking courses in international law. Also
practitioners working in the area.
