Reviews

Throughout its interrogation of text, context, and subtext, the book's objective is to explore IEL's dimensions 'sometimes for the objective purpose of achieving clarity, sometimes with a view to changing them' (p. 15). Some contributions are particularly incisive-those of Tan, Cotterell, and Frerichs, as well as Perry-Kessaris herself, might be singled out for special mention in this regard. - Fiona Smith for Journal of International Economic Law (2014, 17, 867-869)
