Recenzii
'The range of topics is impressive and the collection will prove invaluable to students of international law and relations.' Contemporary Review
'… there is no question that this book is an important work … this is a well-written, provocative and insightful work that achieves its objective in presenting a variety of viewpoints on the impact of a predominant superpower on the international legal system. It is an essential read for anyone who is interested in the operation of power in international law.' Cambridge Law Journal
'… considering the strong emotions awakened by the United States' fight against terrorism and in particular the war on Iraq, the book remains a welcome voice of reason, serving as a reminder of the importance of the bigger historical picture.' German Law Journal
'This book offers a valuable insight into how the international legal system is developed and influenced by a hegemonic power … there are clear warnings that the United States has the power to act in ways that can undermine the usual international interactions and institutions. These warnings proved very apt after the book was completed, as the United States and the United Kingdom - a new and an old empire - acted contrary to international law and outside the relevant international institutions to institute armed conflict in Iraq. This book puts this action in context. I recommend it very highly.' Robert McCorquodale, Leiden Journal of International Law
'… this is an extremely thought-provoking and penetrating study and deserves wide reading.' Common Law World Review
