Custom, Power and the Power of Rules: International Relations and Customary International Law

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 mar 1999

This book sets out to explain the most foundational aspect of international law in international relations terms. By doing so it goes straight to the central problem of international law - that although legally speaking all states are equal, socially speaking they clearly are not. As such it is an ambitious and controversial book which will be of interest to all international relations scholars and students and practitioners of international law.
