A new examination of the International Criminal Court (ICC) from a
political science and international relations perspective. It
describes the main features of the court and discusses the
political negotiations and the on-going clashes between those
states who oppose the court, particularly the United States, and
those who defend it. It also makes these issues accessible to
non-lawyers and presents effective advocacy strategies for
non-governmental organizations. It also delivers essential
background to the place of the US in international relations and
makes a major contribution to thinking about the ICC's future.
While global civil society does not deliver global democracy, it
does contribute to more transparent, more deliberative and more
ethical international decision-making which is ultimately
preferable to a world of isolated sovereign states with no
accountability outside their borders, or exclusive and secretive
state-to-state diplomacy. This book will be of great interest to
students and scholars of international relations, international
law, globalization and global governance.
