Synopsis

This Research Handbook provides a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of the international law of jurisdiction and immunities, illustrating those aspects in which the law of jurisdiction and law of immunities are mutually inter-dependent, and shedding light on the implications of that inter-dependence. With authoritative contributions from recognised experts, it offers an impartial perspective on the applicable international law, independent from any positions held in governmental or other institutional circles.

About this title

Review:

'Jurisdiction is about the reach of power; immunities are about the restriction of such power. There are few more fundamental, important, or pervasive topics in international law. Yet, jurisdiction and immunities have not received the treatment that they deserve. Comprehensive and balanced, allowing the reader to delve deeply into specific subjects or draw connections among seemingly disparate areas, there is no better survey of this critical field than this Research Handbook.' --- Jacob Katz Cogan, University of Cincinnati College of Law, US
