Recenzje

'In these remarkable pages, the idea of 'public' international law comes bursting through with new and unexpected meaning as Madelaine Chiam expertly sets to work on charting its life beyond the usual sanctuaries of operation-such as diplomatic correspondence, international litigation and jurisprudence, governmental memoranda and domestic legislation. Here, it is a very public 'public international law' - otherwise called 'popular international law' - that emerges from the close and admirable dissections of public argumentation that accompanied the First World War, the Vietnam War and the Iraq War. It is a superbly rewarding study full of discernment and bracing insight.' Dino Kritsiotis, Co-Director of the Nottingham International Law and Security Centre (NILSC), University of Nottingham
