Law Among Nations

An Introduction to Public International Law

Beschreibung

Offering a more accessible alternative to casebooks and historical commentaries, Law Among Nations explains issues of international law by tracing the field's development and stressing key principles, processes, and landmark cases. This comprehensive text eliminates the need for multiple books by combining discussions of theory and state practice with excerpts from landmark cases. The book has been updated in light of the continuing revolution in communication technology; the dense web of linkages between countries that involve individuals and bodies both formal and informal; and important and controversial areas such as human rights, the environment, and issues associated with the use of force. Renowned for its rigorous approach and clear explanations, Law Among Nations remains the gold standard for undergraduate introductions to international law. New to the Twelfth Edition Added or expanded coverage of timely issues in international law: Drones and their use in the air and in space Outer space Cybercrime and responses The Julian Assange Case Environmental law Expanded discussion of space law Expanded discussion of conflict and non-state actors Final cases in the ICTY ¿ Thoroughly rewritten chapters on areas of great change: International Criminal Law Just War and War Crime Law International Economic Law (newly restored in response to reviews) International Environmental Law New cases, statutes, and treaties on many subjects

Rezensionen

Praise for Law Among Nations

Thorough, insightful, informative, and readable, Law Among Nations is the gold standard for international law textbooks. This text includes a brilliant compilation of legal material, and is essential reading for students of international law at all levels.

Jeffrey S. Morton, Florida Atlantic University

I have used Law Among Nations for several years in undergraduate law and international relations classes and found that it works well for instructor and students alike. The coverage is comprehensive, including environmental law and economic law as well as the more traditional topics, with clear explanations of complex international law

subjects. I am looking forward to using the new edition.

David A. Gantz, University of Arizona

Larry Taulbee has updated and improved this International Law text, which continues to be the very best summation of the legal approach. It allows nonlawyers to understand how the different states (countries), as well as non-state actors and even individuals, are regulated by the laws that most states follow most of the time, and the rules that persist even when those rules are ignored. Students are exposed to legal cases, but unlike a law school text, it provides clear explanations of the complicated rules that have emerged over centuries but continue to become more complicated and relevant to everyone everywhere, whether or not they realize it.
