When International Law Works
Oxford University Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-19-537017-1 (ISBN)
To demonstrate how his new proposal for approaching international law would work in a real crisis, Cheng provides numerous case studies from contemporary history that test his theory. Ranging topically from the current global economic crisis to the West's war on Islamist terrorism, these detailed and demonstrative case studies set this book apart from similar works of international legal scholarship.
By combining theory with practice, When International Law Works gives lawyers, judges, policymakers, academics and students 'real world' guidance on how to face new global problems. In doing so, this new book challenges readers to rethink the role of law in an increasingly crisis-driven world.
Tai-Heng Cheng is Professor of International Law and Director of the Institute for Global Law, Justice, and Policy at New York Law School. His published scholarship includes the book State Succession and Commercial Obligations (2006) and articles in the University of Illinois Law Review, the Cornell Journal of International Law, and the Michigan Journal of International Law. Professor Cheng is an elected member of the American Society of International Law's Executive Council, and co-chair of ASIL's 2011 Annual Meeting and chair of its 2012 Awards Committee. He holds degrees from Yale Law School and Oxford University.
