Zusammenfassung:
This title addresses the current international law debates and transcends them. Responding to influential scholarly statements on international law, the author presents a new framework that decision-makers should consider when they confront an international problem implicating the often-competing policies and interests of their own communities & global order. Instead of advocating for or against international law as legitimate or binding, Cheng acknowledges its shortcomings while presenting a practical means of deciding whether compliance in a given circumstance is beneficial, moral, or necessary.
