Recenzje

The importance of international law in American courts and in the decisions of the political branches has risen dramatically in recent decades, but debate over its role is beset by theoretical disagreement. Now we have a powerful solution to the institutional side of this puzzle. With an intellectual elegance that displays their mastery of both constitutional and international law, Bellia and Clark show that the text and structure of the Constitution allocate responsibility for answering not only the issues salient in the Founding era, but today's questions as well. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the relationship between our legal system and international law." -H. Jefferson Powell, Professor of Law, Duke University School of Law
