Reviews

Part One is excellent reading for anyone interested in the contemporary debates about sovereignty in public international law. A full range of theories is offered, from far-reaching proposals arguing for a constitutional approach to international law, to a reaffirmation of sovereign rights and finally to a thought-provoking dismissal of the whole debate. All four papers offer original insights!The collection will make for fine reading for international law scholars. William F. Flanagan Queens Law Journal Vol 34, 2009 The book is an excellent piece of work. It clearly constitutes a valuable contribution to the analysis of the various conceptual aspects of sovereignty placed in the context of a globalised trade system a must-have book Marios Koutsas, University of Essex International Trade Law and Regulation Volume 15, Issue 5, (2009) Redefining Sovereignty in International Economic Law is an invaluable introduction to the current debate that surrounds the conceptualisation of sovereignty, and is a helpful guide into finding relevant sources on the subject.
