    Description

    Addressing some of the most perilous, controversial issues in international law and governance, this volume brings together legal scholars from diverse geographic, personal and scholarly perspectives. They reflect on the pervasive feeling of crisis in the world today and share their views on the possibilities and limits of the international legal architecture and its expert communities in shaping the world of tomorrow. What exactly is this feeling that the contemporary international legal architecture is at a tipping point? What do these possible risks expose about the fragility and limits of our current conceptual and institutional order? What commitments drive our hopes and anxieties? Authors explore these questions across a wide range of possible tipping points and offer readers a unique snapshot of the lived experience of what it means to be an expert engaged right now in international law and governance. Each chapter covers both theory and practice in analysing a current problem.

    • A collection of diverse scholarly views on international law and global governance
    • New insights on legal theory, general international law, human rights, trade, artificial intelligence, race and international organizations
    • Up-to-date treatment of a wide range of controversies in global governance

    Since its advent in 1961, the Canadian Yearbook of International Law has been a leading international academic journal covering both public and private international legal issues. Authors from Canada and around the world are invited to publish peer-reviewed articles in French or English that advance critical thinking in all areas of international law. The Canadian Yearbook of International Law also seeks to make Canadian practice in international law accessible to academics, policy-makers, and practitioners. Issued annually under the auspices of the Canadian Council on International Law, the Yearbook contains articles of lasting significance in the fields of public and private international law; a notes and comments section; a digest of Inter-American law; a digest of international economic law; a section on current Canadian practice in international law (including recent parliamentary declarations, Canadian treaty actions, and positions stated by Canada’s Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development); a digest of important Canadian cases in the fields of public and private international law; and a book reviews section. The Yearbook has a rolling acceptance policy and benefits from FirstView. It allows completed pieces to be hosted online prior to their inclusion in a final print and online journal issue. This significantly reduces the lead time between submission and publication. Publié depuis 1961, l'Annuaire canadien de droit international est une revue internationale réputée qui se spécialise dans les questions de droit international public et privé.
