Reviews

This is a thought-provoking book with an innovative argument that is not only relevant in terms of IHRL but also in the application of complexity theory to legal research and IL. Overall, it presents a compelling argument that will hopefully spark a debate about the use of complexity theory approaches in the analysis of IL and IHRL. For scholars interested in human rights and complexity theory, this book makes an important contribution to the literature in offering a way to conceptualise the UN and the IL system as a complex network, and also opens the door for the inclusion of new methodologies for analysing the formulation and interpretation of legal rules in IHRL and IL. * Jinu Carvajalino, Human Rights Law Review *
