See all formats and editions
International institutions are powerful players on the world stage, and every student of international law requires a clear understanding of the forces that shape them. For example, with increasing global influence comes the need for internal control and accountability. This thought-provoking overview considers these and other forces that govern international institutions such as the UN, EU and WTO, and the complex relationship that exists between international organizations and their member states. Covering recent scholarly developments, such as the rise of constitutionalism and global administrative law, and analysing the impact of important cases, such as the ICJ's Genocide case (2007) and the Behrami judgment of the European Court of Human Rights (2007), its clarity of explanation and analytical approach allow students to understand and think critically about a complex subject.

Well thought-out, provocative introduction to the legal foundations and workings of international organizations. Recommended for those who seek insight into the inherent complexities and contradictions in the field, without having to delve too deeply into case study.

I'm a french student in Abo akademi and I'm studying law in english : this book is comprehensible and perfect for studying "law of international organization" but it mustn't be use as the only book since it is outdated or not precise on some points (collective security for example)

If only you had tracking then I could give you the other star. The book came fast and in good packaging I just wish I could plan to be there when it arrived.
