In the established tradition of the Clarendon Law Series,
International Law is both an introduction to the subject and a
critical consideration of its central themes and debates. This book
explores the scope and functioning of international law, and how it
helps to underpin our international political and economic systems.
It goes on to examine the wider theoretical implications of
international law's role in modern society. The opening chapters of
the book explain how international law underpins the international
political and economic system by establishing the basic principle
of the independence of States, and their right to choose their own
political, economic, and cultural systems. Subsequent chapters
focus on the limits of national freedom of choice - the
interntional minimum standards set in international human rights
law, and the 'macro-political' rights of minorities, and the rights
of peoples to self-determination. Two final chapters look at the
international law principles applicable to the use of force and the
control of international crime, as well as the processes for the
prevention and settlement of international disputes. Of all legal
subjects, international law is at once the most richly variegated
and arguably the least understood, even by lawyers. For the past
two decades it has been the focus of intense analysis and comment
by legal philosophers, international relations specialists,
linguists, professional lawyers, historians, economists, and
political scientists, as well as those who study, teach, and
practice the discipline.Yet, the realities of international trade
and communication mean that regulations in one State often directly
affect matters within others. This book explains how through the
organizing concepts of territory, sovereignty, and jurisdiction
international law seeks to achieve an established set of principles
according to which the power to make and enforce policies is
distributed among States.
