| Summary |
"Both theoretical and political in its scope, The Role of Law in International Politics examines the character of international rules and norms, the way in which they develop, and how they affect political decision-making in a variety of contexts including international peace and security, international economic relations, international human rights, international development, and the environment." "A truly interdisciplinary work it will be of interest to all teachers, students, and practitioners of international law and politics as well as many non-specialists who are rapidly developing an interest in this highly topical field."--BOOK JACKET |
