Reviews
For scholars and law students as well as practitioners, this volume of over a thousand pages, with its useful overview of current thinking on the theory of international law, is definitely a must-read and a worthy addition to the well-stocked professional library. Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, Richmond Green Chambers A composite reading of the statist, naturalist, and transnational approaches in the Handbook lead to a counter-intuitive conclusion that international economic law is the mother of public international law. The Handbook offers us the timely opportunity of confirming our convictions as well as hearing voices that we ignore because of our own professional preoccupations and epistemological locations. Anne Orford and Florian Hoffmann (eds), with Martin Clark, The European Journal of International Law
There is much to commend here: the creativity on display, the eclectic range of topics canvassed, the way in which the volume brings together established and emerging scholars from a range of interpretive traditions. This thoughtful collection of essays is a valuable companion for those who face problems of interpretation in international law. James Crawford, International Court of Justice
