Critical Acclaim
‘This book, edited by Annalisa Ciampi, aptly recalls the centrality of historicization in international legal thought and practice. The chapters in this volume, each in its particular and refreshing way, simultaneously demonstrate the impossibility for international lawyers to refrain from an explicit engagement with history. A welcome publication.’
