Description
This comprehensive Research Handbook provides a detailed analysis and assessment of the impact of international law on cities. It explores the growing global role of cities and makes a case for a renewed understanding of international law in light of the urban turn.
Written by a diverse group of scholars, this book offers insights into how international law applies to various fields, including climate change, human rights, migration, security governance, and more. It also reflects on how to account for the urban turn through historical and theoretical perspectives from both legal and non-legal scholarship.
Combining doctrinal work with analysis of international practice and critical historical and theoretical contributions, this Research Handbook is an essential reference book for researchers and students in international law and related disciplines such as human geography, urban studies, sociology, and political science.
