Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd


This timely book delves into the unique nature of international law, distinguishing it from domestic law in its lack of a formalized, hierarchical structure. Instead, international law emerges through a complex interplay of practices, norms, and other elements that require conceptual reconstruction by its participants and observers. The book explores these constructions, examining how they can be deconstructed and reconstructed.

Contributions from esteemed scholars from diverse disciplines, including philosophy, international law scholars, and practitioners, enrich the book's content. These scholars offer constructive, deconstructive, and reconstructive perspectives on international law, fostering lively discussions through the exchange of ideas.

Throughout the book, chapters provide complementary views of key international legal concepts such as custom, legal interpretation, authority, and sovereignty. By offering a multidisciplinary framework, Conceptual (Re)Constructions of International Law serves as a valuable resource for practitioners and scholars in legal philosophy, international legal theory, and public international law.

This comprehensive exploration of international law's conceptual complexities offers a deeper understanding of the field and its role in shaping global affairs.
