The modern field of comparative international law emerged in the last century, but it still suffers from a lack of intellectual and methodological foundations. This ambitious collection fills that gap.

It examines the key concepts of comparative international law, including its historical and critical perspectives. Contributors from a wide geographical range present their diverse and thought-provoking views on international and comparative law. This is a much-needed and cutting-edge book on an undervalued yet topical field of research.
