Reviews

Perhaps the word the in the title promises a tad too much to the readers of this truly valuable book. More accurate would be 'Major Themes in International Law: A Sociological Approach'. With this caveat the book delivers whether you are interested in trade agreements, compliance pull, investment, or any of the other themes picked up (a particularly interesting chapter on collective memory) you will learn, become wiser in relation to each. What more can one ask? Joseph Weiler, European Journal of International Law,


This book attempts to fill this literature gap and succinctly provides insights to the sociology of international law, sociological theories, collective memory, social identity, diffusion of norms, deviance and conformity within international law. Overall, this book remains a valuable contribution to the literature on the sociology of international law and as such is a commendable piece of research and a valuable resource for researchers, academics, policy makers, social scientists and students within the field of international law, sociology and international relations. * Fozia Nazir Lone, Chinese Journal of International Law * Perhaps the word the in the title promises a tad too much to the readers of this truly valuable book.
