Invitation to the Sociology of International Law aims to cast light
on the under-explored sociological dimension of international law.
The book emphasizes that international legal rules are profoundly
embedded in diverse social factors and processes, such as norms,
identity, and collective memory. Thus, international law often
reflects and affects societal factors and processes in state
societies and in the international community. The book exposes some
central tenets of the sociological perspective and its core
theoretical approaches, and presents a sociological analysis of
several significant topics in present-day international law. The
volume surveys subjects such as compliance, international economic
law, legal fragmentation, law-making, and the impartiality of
adjudicators, and reveals that a sociological analysis of
international law enriches our understanding of social factors
involved in the formation, evolution, and implementation of the
law. Such analysis may not only explain past and present trends in
international law but also bears significant implications for the
interpretation of existing legal provisions, as well as suggesting
better legal mechanisms for coping with contemporary challenges. In
light of the underlying interrelationships between international
law and other social factors, this book invites international law
specialists to analyse international legal rules in their wider
social context and to incorporate sociological tools into
mainstream international law scholarship.
