This compendium contains the richest substantive contribution to the study of international law published within the last two decades. Its 29 chapters are authoritatively documented, cogently written and compellingly argued. Silverburg has done a superb job of selecting the contributors, organizing the chapters, and editing the contents. It is highly recommended for both undergraduate and graduate courses in international law. -Christopher C. Joyner, Professor of Government and International Law, Georgetown University
