The Law of U.S. Foreign Relations

The Law of U.S. Foreign Relations is a comprehensive and incisive discussion of the rules that govern the conduct of U.S. relations with foreign countries and international organizations, and the rules governing how international law applies within the U.S. legal system. This volume examines the constitutional and historical foundations of congressional, executive, and judicial authority in foreign affairs. The authors focus in detail on the constitutional tensions that arise from legislative efforts to control executive diplomacy and from judicial engagement with transnational disputes.
