Focusing on the complexities of international law, this textbook offers a clear and concise exploration of its principles, emphasizing the interplay of political, diplomatic, and socio-economic factors. Organized around four key questions—origin, application, conflict resolution, and content—it encourages students to view international law as a dynamic system. Professor Klabbers combines academic rigor with accessible language, enhancing understanding through footnotes and reinforcing learning with structured chapter introductions and conclusions.
This market-leading textbook has been updated extensively to reflect the entry into force of the EU's Lisbon Treaty and new articles on the responsibility of international organisations. It also includes two new chapters on the international civil service and the relations between organisations and other institutions, respectively.
This comprehensive textbook serves as a crucial resource for understanding international law, authored by a prominent figure in the field. The second edition incorporates updated insights and developments, making it an essential tool for educators and students alike. It emphasizes key concepts and practical applications, reflecting the evolving nature of international legal practices.
The essays in this collection are based on papers originally presented at the sixth meeting of the European-American Consortium for Legal Education, held at the University of Helsinki, Finland in May, 2007. EACLE is a transatlantic consortium of law faculties dedicated to co- eration and to the exchange of ideas between different legal systems and cultures. Each year the EACLE colloquium considers a speci?c legal qu- tion from a variety of national perspectives. The 2007 initiative on “The Internationalization of Law and Legal Education” was coordinated by the staff of the University of Helsinki Faculty of Law and the Academy of F- land Centre of Excellence in Global Governance Research. We would like to thank those who attended the 2007 meeting for their insightful remarks, and for their inspiration, suggestions, and encouragement in making this volume and the EACLE consortium so effective in fostering greater trans- lantic cooperation on law and legal education. Thanks are also due to the faculty, staff and students of the Center for International and Comparative Law who prepared this volume for publication, and particularly to Morad Eghbal, James Maxeiner, Kathryn Spanogle, Jordan Kobb, Astarte Daley, Suzanne Conklin, P. Hong Le, P- tima Lele, Nicholas McKinney, Shandon Phan, T.J. Sachse, Katherine Si- son, Toscha Stoner-Silbaugh, Bjorn ¨ Thorstensen, Ryan Webster, and Cheri Wendt-Taczak.
