The international legal system has weathered sweeping changes over
the last decade as new participants have emerged. International
law-making and law-enforcement processes have become increasingly
multi-layered with unprecedented numbers of non-State actors,
including individuals, insurgents, multinational corporations and
even terrorist groups, being involved. This growth in the
importance of non-State actors at the law-making and
law-enforcement levels has generated a lot of new scholarly studies
on the topic. However, while it remains uncontested that non-State
actors are now playing an important role on the international
plane, albeit in very different ways, international legal
scholarship has remained riddled by controversy regarding the
status of these new actors in international law. This collection
features contributions by renowned scholars, each of whom focuses
on a particular theory or tradition of international law, a region,
an institutional regime or a particular subject-matter, and
considers how that perspective impacts on our understanding of the
role and status of non-State actors. The book takes a critical
approach as it seeks to gauge the extent to which each conception
and understanding of international law is instrumental in the
perception of non-State actors. In doing so the volume provides a
wide panorama of all the contemporary legal issues arising in
connection with the growing role of non-state actors in
international-law making and international law-enforcement
processes.
