Description:
Overview:

B.S. Murthy’s International Relations and Organisation is essentially aimed at providing the fundamental learning to the students of five-year integrated courses of law. Prof. B.S. Murthy, the doyen of International Law teachers in India, was associated with the framing of the five-year law curriculum. This classic work of Prof. Murthy has been revised and updated by Dr V. Rajyalakshmi.

The book deals with the fundamentals of International Relations and Organisation in a simple language and descriptive style. The book starts with an introduction by Prof. N.R. Madhava Menon. The book examines topics such as-the history of the evolution of world community, methods employed to study international relations in the past, participants involved in international decision-making, the settlement of disputes through different methods, etc. Further, the book includes a select bibliography along with a list of books suggested for reading and reference.

Multiple fields of international interaction with multilateral effects is the typical profile of the contemporary world. The traditional international system, typically composed of sovereign States as its primary actors of international relationship, has now given way to the present modern international system in which even the non-State actors have begun to engage in international relationships.

Many technological interventions are influencing the modern international relationships as never before. This issue is given special attention in this revised edition to let the learners develop a basic comprehension of the modern impact of technology on international relationships.

This book is indispensable for students of five-year law courses and for anyone interested in reading about International Relations and Organization.
