Theories of International Responsibility Law
$133.00
USDThere is no issue more central to a legal order than responsibility, and yet the dearth of contemporary theorizing on international responsibility law is worrying for the state of international law. The volume brings philosophers of the law of responsibility into dialogue with international responsibility law specialists. Its tripartite structure corresponds to the three main theoretical challenges in the contemporary practice of international responsibility law: the public and private nature of the international responsibility of public institutions; its collective and individual dimensions; and the place of fault therein. In each part, two international lawyers and two philosophers of responsibility law address the most pressing questions in the theory of international responsibility law. The volume closes with a comparative 'world tour' of the responsibility of public institutions in four different legal cultures and regions, identifying stepping-stones and stumbling blocks on the path towards a common law of international responsibility.
- Provides a major and unique example of inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary discussion on the question of international responsibility, showing how different disciplines can interact to address the most pressing questions in the theory of international responsibility law
- Approaches the issues both from a conceptual and practical angle, drawing on the expertise of the diverse contributors
- Presents readers with new issues and new ways of thinking, using new materials for scholars, States, IOs and courts to navigate novel ways of interpreting the existing law
- Provides a comparative analysis of international responsibility law in several legal cultures and regions
