Bücher der Reihe ASIL Studies in International Legal Theory

This anthology brings together legal and philosophical theorists to examine the normative and conceptual foundations of international criminal law. International criminal law is still an emerging field, and as it continues to develop, the elucidation of clear, consistent theoretical groundings for its practices will be crucial.

Behavior is a core concern of international law and laws are designed to shape behavior. As such, theories of how international law affects behavior, whether based on anecdotal evidence, history, large-N empirical studies, psychology, sociology, or other social scientific tools, are central to thinking about international law.
