Law at the Vanishing Point

A Philosophical Analysis of International Law

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume examines the philosophical foundations of modern international law using the tools of Anglo-American legal theory and western political thought. It provides a fascinating new challenge to those who reduce international law to either ethics or politics and provides a critical new appraisal of its power as an independent force in human social relations.
