Reviews

...Beyleveld and Brownsword are to be congratulated on clarifying and sharpening a range of tools to assist when consent is at issue...Theirs is a dense and detailed look at consent from the ground up. Its argumentation is clear; preceded by introduction, capped with conclusion and sewn together meticulously. Matthew Dyson Cambridge Law Journal Vol 67, March 2008 ...provides much food for thought. I think that its greatest strength is its detailed and careful consideration of the various limits to consent as a justification for action. Beyleveld and Brownsword's book can be warmly commended to anyone interested in this extremely important topic in political and legal theory. Peter Cane Law and Politics Book Review Vol. 17 No.7 (July 2007) A major step forward, and a valuable addition to academic literature. Dr Benjamin Capps Legal Studies Vol 28, No 1

It cannot therefore be judged anything other than a success. William Lucy International Journal of Law in Context Volume 4/4, 2009
