This intellectually rigorous introduction to international law
encourages readers to engage with multiple aspects of the topic: as
'law' directing and shaping its subjects; as a technique for
governing the world of states and beyond statehood; and as a
framework within which several critical and constructivist projects
are articulated. The articles situate international law in its
historical and ideological context and examine core concepts such
as sovereignty, jurisdiction and the state. Attention is also given
to its operation within international institutions and in dispute
settlement, and a separate section is devoted to international
law's 'projects': protecting human rights, eradicating poverty, the
conservation of resources, the regulation of international trade
and investment and the establishment of international order. The
diverse group of contributors draws from disciplinary orientations
ranging from positivism to postmodernism to ensure that this book
is informed theoretically and politically, as well as grounded in
practice.
