Abstract

The book successfully makes international law theories – or better, ‘different ways of thinking about international law’ – accessible and relatable, without being patronising or reductionist. It should be read, in particular, by any scholar or student who finds theorising impenetrable, abstract, frustrating or intimidating, and perhaps thinks of themselves as resolutely ‘not doing theory’.
