Springer is publishing a book on
European international law traditions.
ABOUT THE BOOK
International Law is usually
considered, at least initially, to be a unitary legal order that is not subject
to different national approaches. Ex definition it should be an order that
transcends the national, and one that merges national perspectives into a
higher understanding of law. It gains broad recognition precisely because it
gives expression to a common consensus transcending national positions.
The reality, however, is quite
different. Individual countries’ approaches to International Law, and the
meanings attached to different concepts, often diverge considerably. The result
is a lack of comprehension that can ultimately lead to outright conflicts.
In this book, several renowned
international lawyers engage in an enquiry directed at sorting out how
different European nations have contributed to the development of International
Law, and how various national approaches to International Law differ. In doing
so, their goal is to promote a better understanding of theory and practice in International
Law.
