Description

"This book has been written with a specific objective in view. It seeks to explain and illustrate the cardinal concepts of international law to practising and academic lawyers, to students of law and international relations, and to anyone interested in developing their understanding of the rules of the international system. It also seeks to bring a clarity to international law that is occasionally missing from some specialist works, and a comprehensiveness that is always missing from basic introductions. Finally, it seeks to advance an understanding of the international legal order based on a vision of international law as a natural authority called into existence by the demands of the common good of peoples organised into States. It strives to avoid both globalist utopianism and the left and right varieties of cynical 'realism' that sometimes haunt international law."--Page xxiii.
