The law and politics of international regime conflict

More about the book

"This book has been in the making for some time. lts origins lie in research that I had conducted on a narrower topic?that of 'self-contained regimes' in international law. At the time, I was struck by the variety of explanatory 'narratives' that sought to make sense of the changing configuration of the international order in the past few decades. Each narrative, detecting different degrees of unity and fragmentation in the international order, seemed pertinent in its own way provided that one accepted its theoretical premises". -- ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
