In this substantial new volume, she sets out the most comprehensive and thoughtful analysis to date of a subect that is, as she so clearly demonstrates, no longer confined wither to immunities or to states...There is a great deal of interest and value in this book, both for scholars and practitioners. For specialists in the topic it will be an indispensable text.' Alan Boyle, The Law Review Quarterly This is a work of rigorous scholarship. As an authoritative monograph, it will be of inestimable value to practitioners...The book is user-friendly in its detailed list of contents, lavish use of headings, and sub-headings, clear scene-setters for each chapter, regular summaries and a good index...State immunity is a difficult subject for students, teachers, and practitioners of international law, and there has long been need for a good book on it ... practitioners will have already found the book essential for their work, a sign of a book being instantly indispensable.
