Tommaso Soave

Opis

Part essay, part novel, this book reveals how international courts produce their judgments and what invisible actors shape their decisions.

Recenzje

'As Soave correctly points out, international courts are still shrouded in secrecy, which prevents outsiders from fully understanding how they operate. Soave makes the most significant contribution so far to lifting this veil, and his book provides material that will be tremendously useful not only to sociolegal scholars with an interest in international law, but also to practitioners who wish to understand how the courts before which they plead cases actually function.' Florian Grisel, Law and Social Inquiry
