About this book

Reviews

"The study of international law has too long been isolated from other academic disciplines (and vice-versa). Many scholars have called for greater integration and collaboration; this volume delivers." Paul F. Diehl, Henning Larsen Professor of Political Science, University of Illinois, USA

"This fascinating collection of essays explores ways in which globalization, and especially its technological dimensions, challenge the boundaries of international law as well as the boundaries of sovereignty, authority, and power a timely update on the interdisciplinary project in law." Shirley Scott, Vice-Chair, International Law Section, International Studies Association
