International Law Jan Klabbers is an English-language textbook that provides in-depth insight into the dynamics of international law. Suitable for students in higher education, this book is written by one of the world’s leading international lawyers.
The book addresses international legislation as a complex system in which legal, political and socio-economic factors come together. Four essential questions are at the center: where does the law come from, who is it applicable to, how are conflicts resolved, and what are the substantive rules? This clear and concise approach makes the book a leading publication.
The fourth edition has been updated with current case law and literature, and discusses recent topics such as the invasion of Ukraine, global health law and energy law. This textbook connects with fields such as Public International Law and international organizations and relations.
