Description:

`an original and groundbreaking source of international legal scholarship...This thorough, scholarly treatise is bound to become a standard...Highly recommended for graduate students and faculty.' Choice `this work provides a vision for the future development of international law and institutions and ends with a challenge to both scholars and practitioners to take up the issue of fairness in the law actively.' International Affairs `...a work of considerable scholarship and vitality... Franck is challenging us to develop a new way of thinking about international law. I will have to read this book a second time, perhaps a third, to take in all that Franck offers, but that will be a pleasure not a burden. The Cambridge Law Journal

Synopsis:

This book is based on Professor Franck's highly acclaimed Hague Academy General Course. In it he offers a compelling view of the future of international legal reasoning and legal theory. The author offers a critical analysis of the prescriptive norms and institutions of modern international law and argues that international law has the capacity to advance, in practice, the abstract social values shared by the community of states and persons. This book is both thought-provoking and original and as such is essential reading for students of international law and legal theory.
