Here in one place are all the significant documentary sources of international law. Arranged according to the categories in which international law has developed, the instruments are drawn from the declarations, resolutions, statutes & conventions of organizations both global & regional, as well as from multilateral treaties. The categorical divisions & subdivisions make it easy for a student, lawyer or paralegal to find all the international law instruments that might affect a particular case or problem. Within subdivisions, documents are ordered geographically & chronologically, & dependent instruments appear together with their parent instruments. International Law & World Order is the only collection of its kind available anywhere. Easy to use & wide ranging, its looseleaf format & regular supplementation make it easy to update. The set is particularly valuable--and economical--for law libraries, as providing access to the important materials it contains by other means would involve the purchase of dozens, perhaps hundreds, of hard-to-find, expensive volumes, & then remaining alert for updating. International Law & World Order & its automatic regular supplementation provide everything necessary to research international law documentary sources, including new & newly amended instruments.

The majority of material is organized around the conceptually divisible components of our otherwise indivisible world order: "war/peace," "human rights/social justice," "economic trade/development," and "earth/space environment." The remainder, the "constitutive/organic" and the "miscellaneous," reflect the truism that no typology, no matter how well conceived, can ever fully comprehend the diversity of human affairs.

Basic Documents in International Law provides exactly what it says in the title - the essential, basic, and most important documents needed for the study and understanding of international law. Collated by a world-leading expert, this focused selection of documents will be an excellent resource for both students and practitioners.

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.
