Review:
..[the] meticulous and detailed use of a vast array of situations is a significant strength of the book and will make it the first reference point for anyone practising or researching in this and related areas. The depth of understanding of each situation, the ability to see the various aspects of each situation and to apply them to various legal arguments is impressive. (European Journal of International Law [review of the first edition])
..a work of high-quality scholarship..detailed, closely argued..shows an author in commansof his field. It is highly recommended for all international lawyers, international relations experts and others who have to deal with these situations. (European Journal of International Law)
