Reviews for International Law

Review from previous edition International Law succeeds splendidly. It is student-friendly in ways that do not compromise accuracy or the recognition of complexity, and it will be the catalyst for many future careers and contributions. * John R Morss (2020) 21 Melbourne Journal of International Law 230 * Impressive, comprehensive, extremely well written and engaging, using special features to spur further understanding of context, case law and critical thinking. * Solange Mouthaan, University of Warwick * An outstanding contribution to international legal scholarship. The analysis is highly contextualised with vivid examples drawn from historical or contemporary state and judicial practices. * Dr Ricardo Pereira, Cardiff University * Delivering a comprehensive introduction that is both accessible and engaging, this text will surely entice new students to dig deeper into the subject. * Dr Kasey McCall-Smith, University of Edinburgh *
