International Law

By Antonio Cassese

Book Overview

This new edition of Cassese's International Law provides a stimulating and authoritative account of international law for undergraduates and postgraduates. It has been fully revised and updated to include all recent developments in the subject, and contains a new chapter on terrorism as well as extensive revision of the section on state responsibility. Providing a comprehensive commentary on international law as a whole, it compares the traditional legal position with the developing and evolving law in a way that is sensitive to political and economic considerations, as well as including detailed yet accessible examinations of state responsibility and international criminal law. The late Professor Cassese was a leading figure in the field, and this new edition takes full advantage of his extensive experience to provide a more personal approach to the subject than is typically found in the standard textbook, acting as good intellectual exercise for the stronger student.

The late Antonio Cassese was the Editor of the Journal of International Criminal Justice. To read sample articles from the journal visit: www.jicj.oupjournals.org

Clear and Comprehensive guide for Int Law Students

I found this book incredibly useful for research, and as one of the main sources of information for a law competition I participated in. The information is presented in a clear manner, yet it encompases a large range of international law theory. On top of that it includes real life examples within the text, but in a format, that they can be skipped over if neccesary. The book was a great guide to international law jurisprudence, pointing me in the right direction in every case. This book is great either as an introduction to international law, or as a reference book. I think its an all around must-have.

Excellent updated book

I consider this book as an excellent text for students of International Law and International Relations. The work provides clear legal reasoning and information, but also interesting and updated examples. This mixture makes the book extremely interesting, including the web infomation linked to the book.Actually, I adopted this text as the basic reading for my University introductory course on Public International Law.
