International Law Sources
Collected Papers: Volume Three
Author:
Very few authors have ever had their collected papers published in a series of volumes. As far as we know, Anthony DâAmato is the first legal scholar to be accorded this signal honor. Martinus Nijhoff Publishers is pleased to announce the third volume of this acclaimed series. In this volume, the author updates his essays on sources and the foundational questions of international law with new commentary.
'My sketch of Grotius fits DâAmato better than any other English-writing international legal scholar today. It is the cumulative effect of DâAmatoâs great body of work that warrants attention, now and far into the future.'
Nicholas Onuf.
'The main impression imparted by the volume as a whole is one of jurisprudential coherence and striking originality. It establishes Anthony DâAmato as one of the finest theoretical minds at work on international law issues, and it does so in an engaging manner that gives a reader the pleasure of participating actively in these explorations into the nature and function of international law.'
