...this volume contains a very useful, down-to-earth analysis of general conceptual aspects of international law. It is certainly good for international legal theory to be approached in such a transparent manner, cleansed of cliches and focusing on what international law actually is. This volume is certainly to be recommended to anyone who wishes to follow up on the pertinent issues of the relationship between international law, national interest, and ideological traditions. -- Alexander Orakhelashvili * European Journal of International Law, Vol 20, No 3 August 2009 * La diversite des positions adoptees par les participants fait de cet ouvrage un outil tres utile a tout lecteur juriste ou politiste, practicien ou theoricien, interesse par les enjeux contrmporains du droit international. -- Sarah Cassella * Annuaire Francais de Droit International, October 2009 *
