Recenzii
Leben provides thought provoking twists to the classic debates present in international law.
International lawyers are familiar with the argument - dating back to Austin, but still quite common today - that there is no international law, but, to say it in a nutshell, international powers only. Prof. Charles Leben's book...is a rich, stimulating, and up-to-date rebuttal to such an assertion....a fascinating overview of Prof Leben's work and knowledge. It offers stimulating and challenging thoughts on a rich variety of topics, even for the reader who is not familiar with some of them...
The three books under review offer excellent examples of legal positivism at its best and provide windows into the French ways of thinking about matters that are central to international law. They are all well worth reading to understand what the modern positivist method is, to evaluate its usefulness to the international lawyer, and to gain a better understanding of French perspectives on international law.(Review of 3 titles in the French Studies in International Law Series: International Law, Power, Security and Justice by Serge Sur, The Advancement of International Law by Charles Leben, The Law Against War by Olivier Corten).
Charles Leben's book is ... very wamrly recommended to all international legal scholars with a theoretical bent and to those who would like to gain access, with respect to the issues discussed in the book, to some of the principal debates and arguments in the French academic literature.
