Reviews"An international law volume most suited for a contemporary American undergraduate audience studying the broad spectrum of global politics. Highly recommended." -- Choice Reviews "This is an accessible and engaging book which offers, not only an outline of the basic principle of the discipline, but a larger vision of the subject which makes vivid its potential, problems and necessity." -- Global Law Books "Christopher C. Joyner's modern textbook on international law is an impressive account of the state and development of international law at the turn of the 21st century. It is readable for its lucid and engaging style, but also for its grasp of the breadth and detail of international legal processes today. The author, professor of government at Georgetown University, presents a clear and convincing image of international law, as an increasingly institutionalized and conditioning influence on international political decisionmaking. The book is highly recommendable and a welcome contribution to the field." --Ivar Alvik, This is an accessible and engaging book which offers, not only an outline of the basic principle of the discipline, but a larger vision of the subject which makes vivid its potential, problems and necessity., An international law volume most suited for a contemporary American undergraduate audience studying the broad spectrum of global politics.

SynopsisIn the freshest international law text in 20 years, Christopher C. Joyner offers a critical assessment of international legal rules in the early 21st century as they are applied by governments to the real world., In the freshest new international law text in 20 years, Christopher C. Joyner offers a critical assessment of international legal rules in the early 21st century as they are applied by governments to the real world. Looking at concepts and principles, processes and critical problems, Joyner steers clear of an old-time case method approach, preferring to treat issues thematically. He shows the challenges of international law in terms of peace, security, human rights, the environment, and economic justice. Particular features of the book include engaging vignettes, clearly defined key terms, and special coverage of emerging topics including common spaces; international criminal law; rules, norms, and regimes; and trade relations and commercial exchange. Through it all, Joyner maintains an intent focus on the role of the individual in the evolving international legal order.
