The Role of Law in International Politics

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 the increasing number of non-specialists who are developing an interest in this high-profile field.
