Zusatztext A composite reading of the statist, naturalist, and transnational approaches in the Handbook lead to a counter-intuitive conclusion that international economic law is the mother of public international law. The Handbook offers us the timely opportunity of confirming our convictions as well as hearing voices that we ignore because of our own professional preoccupations and epistemological locations. Klappentext This Oxford Handbook explores key questions and debates in international legal theory, offering new intellectual histories for the discipline, and providing fresh interpretations of significant historical figures, texts, and theoretical approaches. Zusammenfassung The Oxford Handbook of International Legal Theory provides an accessible and authoritative guide to the major thinkers, concepts, approaches, and debates that have shaped contemporary international legal theory. The Handbook features 48 original essays by leading international scholars from a wide range of traditions, nationalities, and perspectives, reflecting the richness and diversity of this dynamic field. The collection explores key questions and debates in international legal theory, offers new intellectual histories for the discipline, and provides fresh interpretations of significant historical figures, texts, and theoretical approaches. It provides a much-needed map of the field of international legal theory, and a guide to the main themes and debates that have driven theoretical work in international law. The Handbook will be an indispensable reference work for students, scholars, and practitioners seeking to gain an overview of current theoretical debates about the nature, function, foundations, and future role of international law.
