| Summary |
On a variety of international legal matters, relations between the US and European countries are evolving and even diverging. In an ever-changing world, understanding the reasons for this increasing dichotomy is fundamental and has a profound impact on our understanding of world dynamics and globalization and, ultimately, on our awareness of where the West is going. This interdisciplinary volume proposes new frameworks to understand the differences in approach to international law in the US and Europe. To explain the theoretical and historical underpinnings of the diverging views, the expert essays present new research and develop innovative conclusions. They assess and explore issues such as the idea of sovereignty, constitutional law, the use of force, treaty law and international adjudication. Leading authorities in different disciplines including law and political science, the contributors engage in a new dialogue and develop a new discourse on inter-Atlantic views |
| Notes |
"This book has its origins in a seminar which took place on 6-7 May 2015 at Tillar House, the headquarters of the American Society of International Law in Washington DC. The title of the seminar, which was organized under the auspices of the International Legal Theory Group of the American Society, was "Whither the West? Debates on Concepts of International Law in Europe and America". As organisers, our purpose was to gather a group of scholars based on in Europe and North-America to reflect on the state of the field, both in a general sense and in relation to specific issues. While this was only five years ago, May 2015 almost feels like a different era in terms of international law. Barack Obama was still President of the United States; Xi Jinping was China's leader but had not yet consolidated his power; Russia had not intervened in Syria; and the United Kingdom had not voted to leave the European Union. Of course, there was already a profound sense of uncertainty, resulting from the financial crisis, the economic rise of China, and the West's strategic failures in places where it had projected military power since the beginning of the century, i.e. Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya"-- ECIP Introduction |
