The book is very good to understand the evolution of the legal system of the PRC; it is a well-written historical explanation and is also quite objective.

A great international law textbook !
Very torough and extensive outline of public international law. An excellent textbook for any lawyer having to tackle issues of International Law.

A excellent collection of text about international law
This book is a collection of diferent texts, which abord all instituts of public international law. As the previous reviewer said, the chapters vary of quality, but in overall they are very good.

Best Introduction to International Law
I am an experienced lawyer with no background in international law.I had read the 2d edition of Janis' book some years ago and was looking for a more comprehensive treatment.I started with Shaw's book and found the writing turgid (to use a turgid work) and then tried Brownlie's, which was somewhat better but didn't seem worth the effort.(Brownlie authored a chapter in the present book.)This book is just right.Well organized, comprehensive, and clearly written.As with most edited works, the chapters vary in quality, but even in the weaker ones the topic is adequately covered. ...

Judicial review as political insurance
Since the fall of communism in the late 80s and early 90s, new democracies have embraced constitutional courts exercising judicial review. Given the vicious attacks upon courts in the US, one often wonders why anyone would adopt constitutional courts with the power to attack the result of the democratic process, and push its own policy. Ginsburg presents a compelling answer: new democracies turn to constitutional courts as a source of political insurance. When creating a constitution, parties will be more willing to create a court when the political future is uncertain, where they predict that they will likely be in the minority and thus may require extra protection to ensure that the other party(s) will not be able to abuse them. Where a party believes it will be in solid control in the future, the court will likely be weaker because the dominant party would not want to limit its own powers. Ginsburg examines this theory against three case studies of Mongolia, Korea, and Taiwan; the experience of these three countries strongly supports the political insurance theory. This interesting, original work presents judicial review as an integral part of democracy especially in countries without prior democratic experience. Additionally, Ginsburg examines courts in areas that have received little attention in the US, thus, anyone interested in non-western constitutionalism should check this book out. ... Read more

outstanding read for students and professionals alike
Crimes of War by Gutman and Rieff is simply in a league of its own. It is the first field guide of its kind and deserves the attention it is finally receiving (thanks to the photo of Angelina Jolie reading it.) It is logically organized alphabetically by war crime and each one has an article and photographs to accompany it.
Unique
"Crimes of War" is a unique document.It provides a brief but illuminating look into what is broadly termed "international humanitarian law" or the laws of war.Expert journalists, historians, academics, military officials, and international activists provide vivid descriptions of various violations of international law as well as other issues and case studies; for example, "forced labor," "incitement to genocide," "aggression," "Chechnya," "civil war," etc.It is organized like an encyclopedia of human tragedy, basically.The photographs that accompany the entries are powerfully evocative of the suffering they represent, as well.
