Iran's plans to build nuclear weapons. Ongoing armed conflict in Congo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Debates about the responsibility to protect. In each of these headline events, the complex relationship of international law and world politics comes into play. The second edition of International Law in World Politics—thoroughly updated and now including a full chapter on the use of force—introduces the concepts, the rules, and the functioning of international law in a way that is accessible to students of political science.  Shirley Scott covers such core topics as the nature of legal argument, the negotiation and implementation of multilateral treaties, and the place of both intergovernmental organizations and nonstate actors in the international legal system. Equally important, she connects the content of laws to current issues and problems, using case studies to bring the subject to life. The result is a rare text that effectively explains the role that international law plays in the changing arena of world politics. \"\"Writing an easily accessible but still comprehensive text on the role of international law in current world politics is not easy, yet it is exactly what Shirley Scott has accomplished with this excellent introductory book.\"\"—Hanne Hagtvedt Vik, Journal of Peace Research","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50384611967249,"sku":"CIN1588267458G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50393145442577,"sku":"CIN1588267458VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1588267458.jpg?v=1751056321"},{"product_id":"international-law-in-world-politics-book-shirley-v-scott-9781626376045","title":"International Law in World Politics","description":"Reflecting a dramatically changing global context, the third edition of International Law in World Politics introduces the actors, structures, processes, and issues of international law in a way that makes sense to students of political science.

This book sets out to articulate the considerable degree of continuity in the nature of US engagement with international law. International Law, US Power explains that the USA has throughout its history pursued a quest for defensive and offensive legal security and that this was a key ingredient in the rise of the USA. Although skilful strategic involvement with international law was an ingredient in the USA 'winning' the Cold War, the rise of China and the growing negotiating strength of leading developing countries mean that the USA is likely to find it increasingly difficult to use the same set of techniques in the future.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52402956370193,"sku":"NLS9781107016729","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781107016729.jpg?v=1758759458"},{"product_id":"international-law-and-the-use-of-force-book-shirley-v-scott-9780313362590","title":"International Law and the Use of Force","description":"This book is a discussion of key documents that explain the development, current status, and relevance of the international law governing the initiation of military hostilities. International Law and the Use of Force: A Documentary and Reference Guide brings to life a crucial body of law, explaining its historical origins, the core rules and principles of the regime embodied in the Charter of the United Nations, and contentious aspects of that law in the contemporary world.   In light of the intensified interest in the question of justified or unjustified use of force, this timely resource introduces and analyzes over 40 documents relating to the legality of the initiation of military hostilities. The volume presents competing assessments of the legality of key uses of force and explains mainstream positions on important issues such as national right to self-defense, anticipatory and preemptive self-defense, terrorism, aggression, and the role of the UN Security Council. The book concludes by assessing whether the international law that seeks to limit the number of wars has in fact made the world a more peaceful place.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52545720844561,"sku":"NLS9780313362590","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780313362590.jpg?v=1760693374"},{"product_id":"international-law-in-world-politics-book-shirley-v-scott-9781962551960","title":"International Law in World Politics","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"This textbook deals with theoretical perspectives and practical applications very thoughtfully and effectively, making it an invaluable resource for my students.
