International Law

by Jan Klabbers

Written by one of the world's leading international lawyers, this is a landmark publication in the teaching of international law. International law can be defined as 'the rules governing the legal relationship between nations and states'. However, with political, diplomatic and socio-economic factors shaping the law and its application, international law is much more complex. This refreshingly clear, concise textbook encourages students to view international law as a dynamic system of organising the world. Bringing international law back to its first principles and breathing new life and energy into the subject, the book is organised around four Where does it come from? To whom does it apply? How does it resolve conflict? What does it say? This fourth edition includes references to new case-law and literature, and features (brief) discussions on recent topics of general interest, including the Ukraine invasion, global health law and energy law.

[Philina · Rating 4 out of 5]

A really good book on (Public) International Law.
It provides a great overview including historical and philosophic remarks and is easy to read with a more "novel-like" style. Furthermore, it raises interesting questions and invites the reader to start his own process of reflection.
However, this should not be the only book read on the topic as it lacks more "technical" details.

A very good starting point for the study of International Law, which is worthwhile even for those who consider themselves advanced in the subject.

Jan und ich haben gemeinsam einige sehr intensive Tage durchlebt - um einen fast belletristischen Überblick über Internationales Recht zu erlangen, tut das Buch seinen Zweck, um einen tiefen Einblick in die Rechtsnormen und Verfahren zu bekommen eher nicht

Great textbook. Lots of knowledge to inform people about how international law works and its foundations.

Klabbersin kuiva huumori ja selkeä jaottelu tekivät kansainvälisen oikeuden alkeista miellyttävät oppia.
