<br/><br/> Book description<br/><br/>         In this fully updated and revised edition, the authors explore the evolution, nature and function of international law in world politics and situate international law in its historical and political context. They propose three interdisciplinary 'lenses' (realist, liberal and constructivist) through which to view the role of international law in world politics and suggest that the concept of an international society provides the overall context within which international legal developments occur. These theoretical perspectives offer different ways of looking at international law in terms of what it is, how it works and how it changes. Topics covered include the use of force, international crimes, human rights, international trade and the environment. The new edition also contains more material on non-western perspectives, international institutions and non-state actors and a new bibliography. Each chapter features discussion questions and guides to further reading.<br/><br/><br/>Select Part I - The foundations<br/><br/>    Part I - The foundations<br/>    pp 7-8<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select 1 - The nature of international law<br/><br/>    1 - The nature of international law<br/>    pp 9-37<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select 2 - The evolution of international law<br/><br/>    2 - The evolution of international law<br/>    pp 38-73<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select 3 - Three lenses: realism, liberalism and constructivism<br/><br/>    3 - Three lenses: realism, liberalism and constructivism<br/>    pp 74-122<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Part II - The law in world politics<br/><br/>    Part II - The law in world politics<br/>    pp 123-124<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select 4 - Use of force<br/><br/>    4 - Use of force<br/>    pp 125-162<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select 5 - Human rights<br/><br/>    5 - Human rights<br/>    pp 163-192<br/>            You have access Access<br/><br/>        PDF<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select 6 - International crimes<br/><br/>    6 - International crimes<br/>    pp 193-237<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select 7 - International trade<br/><br/>    7 - International trade<br/>    pp 238-269<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select 8 - The environment<br/><br/>    8 - The environment<br/>    pp 270-296<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Part III - Conclusions<br/><br/>    Part III - Conclusions<br/>    pp 297-298<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select 9 - Law and power in an evolving world order<br/><br/>    9 - Law and power in an evolving world order<br/>    pp 299-316<br/>            Get <br/>
