Sinopsis Buku The Spirit of International Law

This comprehensive study focuses on international law as a current, practical means of regulating and influencing international behavior. David J. Bederman shows it to be a system unique in its nature-nonterritorial but secular, cosmopolitan, and traditional.

Part intellectual history and part contemporary review, The Spirit of International Law ranges across the series of cyclical processes and dialectics in international law over the past five centuries to assess its current prospects as a viable legal system.

After addressing philosophical concerns about authority and obliga tion in international law, Bederman considers the sources and methods of international lawmaking.

Topics include key legal actors in the international system, the permissible scope of international legal regulation (what Bederman calls the “subjects and objects of the discipline), the primitive character of international law and its ability to remain coherent, and the essential values of international legal order (and possible tensions among those values).

Bederman then measures the extent to which the rules of international law are formal or pragmatic, conservative or progressive, and ignored or enforced. Finally, he reflects on whether cynicism or enthusiasm is the proper attitude to govern our thoughts on international law.
