International Law in International Society
Reihe: - Developments in International Law, Band: 37
Autor:in:
'The book therefor achieves its central objective of re-evaluating the impact of domestic and international changes on crucial areas of international law, in a way that will order minds working in the fields of both international relations and international law. It is rich in ideas and approaches, also due to the wide number of sources being employed. The narrative remains lucid and coherent, important assets when international law practitioners like this reviewer risk themselves onto the territory of theory. All in all, it is a worthwhile and though-provoking contribution to an important interdisciplinary discourse.' - Andre Stemmet, in: Netherlands International Law Review, 2006
âThis is, in short, a thoroughly interesting and rewarding book, full of stimulus and free of cant. One could recommend it as strongly to an international relations scholar or practitioner (the one seeking to understand how international lawyers see issues, the other how international lawyers can help organize and master them) as one could to international lawyers, theoreticians, or practitioners, interested (as they ought to be) in how their analyses or solutions influence the real world of international politics.â - Frank Berman, in: American Journal of International Law, 2004
'Many international lawyers have attempted to consolidate and 'purify' international law by detaching it from the socio-political environment. Müllerson does the opposite - he integrates international law with international politics, manifesting an interdisciplinary approach to the understanding of the current world.' - in: International Affairs, 77:1
'[T]he problems are not only discussed from the purely legal point of view, but also from the point of view of political science, and they are analysed in their political context. The adoption by the author of this interdisciplinary approach is, in my view, one the best features of the study. [...] the book under review is an excellent study of modern international law theories and of practice, which, no doubt, will contribute greatly to our better understanding of the complicated structure of the modern world.' - Malgosia Fitzmaurice, in: International and Comparative Law Quarterly, 50
