The role and position of non-state actors in international law is
the subject of a long-standing and intensive scholarly debate. This
book explores the participation of this new category of actors in
an international legal system that has historically been dominated
by states. It explores the most important issues, actors and
theoretical approaches with respect to these new participants in
international law. It provides the reader with a comprehensive and
state-of-the-art overview of the most important legal and political
developments and perspectives. Relevant non-state actors discussed
in this volume include, in particular, international governmental
organisations, international non-governmental organisations,
multinational companies, investors and armed opposition groups.
Their legal position is considered in relation to specific
issue-areas, such as humanitarian law, human rights, the use of
force and international responsibility. The main legal theories on
non-state actors' position in international law - neo-positivism,
the policy-oriented approach and transnational law - are covered at
the beginning of the book, and the essential political science
perspectives - on non-state actors' role in international politics
and globalisation, as well as their soft power - are presented at
the end.
