Written by one of the world's leading international lawyers, this
is the new and updated edition of Jan Klabbers' landmark textbook.
International law can be defined as 'the rules governing the legal
relationship between nations and states', but in reality it is much
more complex, with political, diplomatic and socio-economic factors
shaping the law and its application. This refreshingly clear,
concise textbook encourages students to view international law as a
dynamic system of organising the world. Bringing international law
back to its first principles, the book is organised around four
questions: Where does it come from? To whom does it apply? How does
it resolve conflict? And what does it say? Building on these
questions with both academic rigour and clarity of expression,
Professor Klabbers breathes life and energy into the subject.
Footnotes point students to the wider academic debate while chapter
introductions and final remarks reinforce learning. This third
edition includes references to new case-law and literature, and
features brief discussions on recent topics of general interest,
including Brexit and the worldwide outbreak of the Coronavirus.
