Reflecting a dramatically changing global context, the third edition of International Law in World Politics introduces the actors, structures, processes, and issues of international law in a way that makes sense to students of political science. The result is a text that effectively explains the role that international law plays in the arena of world politics today.

Presenting the key documents of international law at the global level, this collection encompasses the full spectrum of central issues. The documents grouped in eight subject areas are: foundations, the use of force, arms control, international crime, human rights, humanitarian law, the environment, and the global commons.
