ISBN: 1862875685 ISBN-13: 9781862875685 Publisher: Federation Press OUR PRICE: $113.85 Product Type: Hardcover Published: August 2005 Annotation: This book analyses some of the national contexts in which international law and domestic law interact and identifies the way in which attitudes to international law shift between them. Some of the questions considered are: How do perceptions of international law differ according to particular institutional vantage-points, whether that of the executive, the legislature, or the judiciary? What is the impact of the perceived "democratic deficit" in international treaty-making? What are some of the ways in which the judiciary acts as a gatekeeper between the national and international legal orders? How does national politics influence engagement with the international sphere? The contributors bring a range of different perspectives: politics, law, and international relations. |
