Recenzje

The longstanding expansion of international law's reach into the innermost recesses of state authority has generated a destabilizing yet predictable backlash. In Law beyond the State, Carmen Pavel meets this momentous challenge with a timely and provocative account of why international law is not only desirable but morally requisite. Pushing aside usual suspects such as Hobbes, Grotius, Kant, and Vattel, Pavel argues that David Hume's sophisticated theory of dynamic coordination gives us the key to designing a legitimate system of international law, on precisely the same philosophical grounds as domestic law.
