  • Case study driven approach helps students understand the complexities of international law: it is through case study examples that legal and political principles are explained.
  • Written specifically for politics and IR students with no prior knowledge of law.
  • Encourages students to question assumptions, such as whether international law is fit for purpose, and what that purpose is or ought to be.
  • Includes discussion of the potential of rising powers to shift the international system.
       
The Politics of International Law offers an introduction to the role of law in contemporary international affairs. Through a case study-driven analysis of topics such as human rights, the use of force, international environmental law, international trade law, international criminal justice and the right to self-determination, the book explains the interaction between law and politics in the world today, demonstrating that one cannot be understood without the other.
  
The book is divided into two parts. Part I introduces contemporary international law with a focus on constitutive legal principles such as sovereignty, territorial integrity and the legal equality of states. Through these introductory chapters, students are encouraged to take a holistic view of the processes and actors that drive international affairs, and explore the fascinating paradox that while international law is largely created through political processes, it also constitutes the environment in which international politics is practiced.
  
Part II builds on the foundations laid in Part I to analyze contemporary controversies in international law and politics. Chapters focus on a number of substantive issue areas, including international environmental law, international economic law, human rights law, self-determination and secession, the law governing the use of force, and international criminal justice.
  
This book is written to impart on readers a deepened understanding of both the possibilities and limits of international law as a tool for structuring relations in the world.

著者について: 

Nicole Scicluna, Visiting Lecturer in the Department of Politics and Public Administration, University of Hong Kong

"Professor Scicluna's book, The Politics of International Law, is a unique textbook that I plan to use myself. The examples and boxes are extremely up to date, and it is the only international law textbook that situates international legal politics in its post-colonial context, bringing in a TWAIL (Third World Perspectives on International Law) voice. Very readable, and deftly switching between international relations theory and international law, law on the books and law in action, Western and non-Western perspectives, this text offers up to date discussions that will engage students as they grapple with the hard issues and conundrums that international law today raises." - Karen J. Alter, Professor of Political Science and Law, Northwestern University, USA
