Review Quotes:
"...this volume contains a very useful, down-to-earth analysis of general conceptual aspects of international law. It is certainly good for international legal theory to be approached in such a transparent manner, cleansed of clichés and focusing on what international law actually is. This volume is certainly to be recommended to anyone who wishes to follow up on the pertinent issues of the relationship between international law, national interest, and ideological traditions." --European Journal of International Law, Vol 20, No 3 August 2009
"La diversité des positions adoptées par les participants fait de cet ouvrage un outil trés utile à tout lecteur juriste ou politiste, practicien ou théoricien, intéressé par les enjeux contrmporains du droit international." --Annuaire Francais de Droit International, October 2009
