. . . a rich and timely contribution to our understanding of U.S. interactions with international law. The Russian invasion of Ukraine, and international responses to it, highlight the key role of the United States in applying international law to world politics. The book assesses the range of U.S. relationships with international law across multiple substantive issues and with an analytical framework that lends coherence to the complex whole. --Wayne Sandholtz, Professor of International Relations and Law, University of Southern California--Wayne Sandholtz The United States and International Law is a superb, systematic, and insightful exploration of one of the most fundamental questions of world order: whether, how, and why the U.S. does--or does not--support the rule of international law. Iommi and Maass provide an elegant framework for analysis, and their excellent team of expert contributors explores the ambivalent relationship of the U.S. to international law in areas as diverse as war, trade, human rights, the environment, and the law of the sea. --Mark Pollack, Professor of Political Science and Law, Temple University--Mark Pollack A welcome new contribution to the existing literature on the puzzle of the apparently hypocritical and mixed attitude and actions of the U.S. in respect of international law. --Shirley Scott, Professor of International Law and International Relations, UNSW Canberra--Shirley Scott This excellent volume is a sophisticated analysis of what support for international law means and when and why the U.S. provides it. The result is an invaluable tool for those seeking to increase not only U.S. support for but U.S. leadership in international law in addressing threats from aggression to climate change. --Mary Ellen O'Connell, Robert and Marion Short Professor of Law and Research Professor of International Dispute Resolution, Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, University of Notre Dame--Mary Ellen O'Connell

""This book is certainly correct in arguing that US friction with parts of international law did not start with the Trump administration, although that era showed a pronounced distaste for most multinational norms and constraint. It offers a knowledgeable and sophisticated treatment of this relationship with a breadth that ensures the absence of simple and narrow conclusions. Highly recommended."" --CHOICE-- ""CHOICE"" "". . . a rich and timely contribution to our understanding of U.S. interactions with international law.
