Jewish Law and International Law: Sovereignty and Exogenous Authority in a Transnational World


Add your own review!

Overview

Jewish Law and International Law offers a timely exploration of the intricate relationship between Jewish law (or halakhah) and international legal systems. In an era marked by rising antisemitism and increasing tensions between the Israel and the international community, the book offers a deeper understanding of Jewish law's contributions to the broader legal landscape. Offering relevant analysis and a forward-looking approach, Jewish Law and International Law illuminates the significant jurisprudential and methodological parallels between the two systems. Its eight chapters weave together the connections between Jewish law and international law, from the foundational concepts and histories of both legal systems to their shared values and transnational nature. The book delves into how Jewish law incorporates local and international legal principles in areas such as war, humanitarian law, copyright law, and governance. Envisioning a future where Jewish law and international law work in concert rather than conflict, the book offers a more nuanced perspective on both systems and looks toward promoting global justice.
