Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) From Cosmopolitanism to Human Rights by Olivier De Frouville Preface by Philip Allot
This book explores a democratic theory of international law. Characterised by a back-and-forth between theory and practice it explores the question from 2 perspectives: a theoretical level which reflects and criticises the categories words and concepts through which international law is understood and a more applied level focussing on ‘cosmopolitan building sites’ or the practical features of the law such as the role of civil society in international organisations or reform of the UN Security Council. Though written for an academic audience it also be of interest to those concerned with how international governance is developing.
