OverviewWhat is the relationship between politics and international law? Rather than exploring this question through the lens of the dominant paradigms of international relations theory - realism, liberalism, and constructivism - this book proposes a different approach. Based on the premise that the relationship varies depending on the sites where it unfolds, and inspired by comparative politics and socio-legal studies, the book develops a novel framework for comparative analysis of politics and international law at different stages of governance and in different governance systems. Expert contributors apply this analytical framework to diverse fields of law and politics. Part I examines the problems of compliance, effectiveness and the domestic enforcement of international law, and legal institutions including domestic and international courts, national legislatures and regime complexes. Part II covers substantive fields of governance such as global financial regulation, environmental standards, trade, intellectual property and human rights. The final chapters in this Part tackle emerging yet critical issues in international law, including terrorism, cyber conflict and Internet regulation. Together, the chapters represent a significant step forward in the comparative analysis of politics and international law. This Research Handbook will be essential reading for students and academics in political science and law alike. Contributors include: W.C. Banks, R. Brewster, A. Chander, K.L. Cope, M. Elsig, B.

Peterson IndexReviews'This next-generation volume both consolidates a range of recent insights and sets an agenda for the study of the politics of international law. Moving beyond simple binaries of domestic/international, law/politics, and binding/non-binding, the editors and authors collectively elucidate a wide range of phenomenon with a fresh perspective. The result is an essential starting point for international legal studies going forward.' -- Tom Ginsburg, University of Chicago, US 'As the world becomes increasingly legalized, this Research Handbook on the Politics of International Law offers innovative guidance about how to understand law's politics and effects. Sandholtz and Whytock construct a rigorous yet supple theoretical foundation for an excellent array of both conceptual essays and case studies on topics ranging from finance and trade to cyberconflict and human rights. The Research Handbook is an important theoretical contribution for anyone interested in the intersection of law and politics, which these days includes most of us.' -- Martha Finnemore, George Washington University, US 'Sandholtz and Whytock have put together an outstanding collection of essays on the intersection of international law and politics. Focusing on stages and systems of governance, the editors illuminate sites in the international order where legal norms have a direct impact on politics. The volume also looks to the ways in which law and politics change and evolve at the global level as a result of continuing contestation. A must-read for students of global law and politics.' -- Anthony F.
