Between Peril and Promise ─ The Politics of International Law

Maintaining a balance throughout between the realist and idealist views of international law, this textbook is appropriate for an advanced undergraduate course in political science. Rochester (political science, U. of Missouri--St. Louis) updates this second edition with reference to the British Petroleum oil spoil, the 2011 revolts throughout the Middle East, and other recent events. A relevant case study is also added at the end of each chapter. A companion website offers an indexed assembly of court cases, some of which have links to full-text, along with a moot court simulation for instructor use. The volume includes an appendix with questions for study and discussion, a table of cases, and a comprehensive list of further reading. CQ Press is an imprint of SAGE Publications.
