Description
International law has become increasingly relevant in recent years, with its role in high-profile issues such as the Iraq War, Guantanamo, and climate change. This Very Short Introduction aims to explain the basics of international law, its role in international society, and how it operates. Vaughan Lowe clearly outlines what international law can and cannot do, dispelling common myths surrounding the topic. He focuses on the world's most pressing problems, using examples such as terrorism, environmental change, and poverty, to demonstrate the theory and practice of international law. Lowe shows how these principles can be used to promote international cooperation. This book is part of the Very Short Introductions series, which offers concise and accessible introductions to a wide range of subjects.
