The disciplines of international law and international relations
are inextricably linked. Both are concerned with the activities of
states and with predicting how states behave and on what basis.For
the international lawyer, however, the key concern is the role of
the law. On the other hand, political scientists have traditionally
regarded international law with skepticism, if not contempt. In
recent years new approaches in both disciplines have seen moves
towards greater interdisciplinary collaboration. Indeed, at the
start of the twenty-first century, theorists from both disciplines
are talking actively about the development of a dual agenda of
international law and international relations. This means that
students of international relations need increasingly to be
familiar with the terminology and methodology of international
law.This essential introductory text examines the key concepts in
international law with a view to illuminating them in the context
of international relations. The first part of the book provides
coverage of theoretical issues, addressing questions such as: How
does international law work? How is international law made? and To
whom does international law apply? The second part examines
international law in context, focusing on the role of treaties and
customary international law, the role of individuals in
international law and the legal control of the use of force. It
also uses case-study material including an examination of the
Pinochet litigation.
