The Covid-19 pandemic. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Cybercrime and ecocide. Outer space. Global warming. These are just a few of the myriad issues that are the subjects, and sometimes drivers, of international law.

The fourth edition of International Law in World Politics clearly and comprehensively explains how international law works and its role in the arena of world politics today.

Praise for the previous editions:

“This is the premier textbook on the politics of international law…an indispensable teaching tool.” — Ian Hurd, Northwestern University

“This is a superb treatment of the subject matter.” — Choice

“Writing an easily accessible but still comprehensive text on the role of international law in current world politics is not easy, yet it is exactly what Shirley Scott has accomplished with this excellent introductory book.” — Hanne Hagtvedt Vik, Journal of Peace Research

“[An] excellent introductory book.” — John King Gamble, Australian Yearbook of International Law
