Tracing Value Change in the International Legal Order : Perspectives from Legal and Political Science

The international legal order is undergoing a crisis of unusual proportions. This book brings together multiple interdisciplinary contributors to explore whether the values underpinning international law itself are changing, the processes and mechanisms through which changes might be taking place, and how these changes can be negotiated.
