国際法とは何でしょうか。国際法では何ができて、何ができないのでしょうか。環境問題、テロリズム、貧困等の具体的な国際問題に絡めながら検証していきます。イラク戦争や、パレスチナ問題、難民など、現代社会では国際法に目を向けざるを得ない事態に事欠きません。国際法の理念や目標とするところにも触れる本書は、一般読者はもとより、法律や哲学、政治など、広く社会科学分野の学習者にもお薦めです。
   

  • Considers what international law is and what it can and can't do, in order to dispel some of the myths surrounding its capabilities
  • Explores the role of law in international society and considers what jurisdiction international law should have
  • Concentrates on specific and relevant international concerns, such as the environment, terrorism, international violence, cultural differences, and poverty
  • Examines the conflict between the principles and the goals of international law - and how they can be resolved

 
Interest in international law has increased greatly over the past decade, largely because of its central place in discussions such as the Iraq War and Guantanamo, the World Trade Organisation, the anti-capitalist movement, the Kyoto Convention on climate change, and the apparent failure of the international system to deal with the situations in Palestine and Darfur, and the plights of refugees and illegal immigrants around the world. 

This Very Short Introduction explains what international law is, what its role in international society is, and how it operates. Vaughan Lowe examines what international law can and cannot do and what it is and what it isn't doing to make the world a better place. Focussing on the problems the world faces, Lowe uses terrorism, environmental change, poverty, and international violence to demonstrate the theories and practice of international law, and how the principles can be used for international co-operation.
