This volume is intended to provide a map of some of the great theoretical debates within the discipline of international law.

They represent some of the most interesting theoretical work undertaken in international law.

Part 3 What is the source of law?: ideals and things - international legal scholarship and the prison-house of language.
Part 4 Who are the primary actors?: transnational legal process; the future of statehood.
Part 5 Is international law neutral?: the politics of international law; feminist re/statements - feminism and state sovereignty in international law; finding the peripheries - sovereignty and colonialism in 19th-century international law.
Part 6 Is international law just?: is justice relevant to the international legal system?; law, justice and the idea of world society.
Part 7 Is international law democratic?: the Kantian theory of international law; the end of history? - reflections on some international legal theses.
