International Law and World Order Summary

International Law and World Order: A Critique of Contemporary Approaches by B. S. Chimni (Jawaharlal Nehru University)

In International Law and World Order, B. S. Chimni articulates an integrated Marxist approach to international law (IMAIL), combining the insights of Marxism, socialist feminism, and postcolonial theory. The book uses this approach to systematically and critically examine the most influential contemporary theories of international law, including new, feminist, realist, and policy-oriented approaches. In doing so, it discusses a range of themes relating to the history, structure, and process of international law. The book also considers crucial world order issues and problems that the international legal process has to contend with, including the welfare of weak groups and nations, the ecological crisis, and the role of human rights. This extensively revised second edition provides an invaluable, in-depth and updated review of the key literature and scholarship within this field of study. It will be of particular interest to students and scholars of international law, international relations, international politics, and global studies.

International Law and World Order Reviews

'Chimni offers many useful and refreshing insights, both on substantive international law and on the authors he takes to task, and he is nothing if not a fair critic.' Jan Klabbers, Journal of Economic Literature
