Recenzje

'[Lindsey Cameron and Vincent Chetail] have done a heroic job of imposing some analytic order on … seeming legal chaos, at least with respect to public international law. Bringing great rigor, depth, and clarity to the task, [they] provide a systematic overview of the multiple bodies of public international law that govern the contractors themselves and the states and others that employ them … [this book] is breathtaking both in its scope and attention to detail and will surely serve as a lasting and essential resource for anyone working in the field of privatized foreign affairs … Cameron and Chetail are to be lauded for their extraordinary efforts to clarify the international law framework to be applied to PMSCs …' Laura A. Dickinson, The American Journal of International Law
