INTERNATIONAL LAW<br />
THE LIBRARY OF ESSAYS IN INTERNATIONAL LAW<br />
Series Editor: Robert McCorquodale, British Institute of International and Comparative Law, UK<br />
‘The Library of Essays in International Law…gathers some of the best essays and papers on critical international law subjects…They provide a comprehensive overview<br />
of legal developments over the period of the explosion of international law.’ Law Society Journal<br />
This series brings together the most significant published journal articles in international law as determined by the editors of each volume in the series. These articles<br />
are difficult for students and legal scholars to obtain otherwise, due to the proliferation of specialist law journals, the increase in international materials and the lack of<br />
availability of many valuable, older articles. Each volume also features new material in the form of a specially commissioned introduction, which provides an overview of the<br />
subject matter and an explanation as to why the articles have been selected. The volumes complement each other to give a clear view of the burgeoning area of international law.<br />
This series of twenty-two volumes comprises an essential resource for all law libraries and academics in the field of international law and is useful for both teaching and research<br />
at all levels. For more information on this series, including a full list of titles, contents listings and more, please visit www.ashgate.com/legalreference<br />

International Legal Personality<br />
Edited by Fleur Johns, University of Sydney, Australia<br />
The Library of Essays in International Law<br />
The essays in this volume explore who or what is a<br />
‘person’ in the international legal order and document<br />
the emergence of an international legal order increasingly<br />
conceived in terms of patterns and probabilities, rather than<br />
as the stagecraft of a small company of permanent players.<br />

Non-State Actors and International Law<br />
Edited by Andrea Bianchi, Graduate Institute of International<br />
and Development Studies, Geneva<br />
The Library of Essays in International Law<br />
Non-state actors play an important role in international law-making, law-adjudication<br />
and law-enforcement processes. However, little attention has been paid to the<br />
theoretical discourse about non-state actors and its relation to the doctrine of the<br />
subjects of international law. The articles collected together in this volume consider<br />
a range of issues on this subject, such as whether the solution lies in ‘relativizing’<br />
the subjects or rather in ‘subjectivizing’ them, and contribute to the discussion<br />
to determine who may legitimately and authoritatively perform legally relevant<br />
acts on the international scene.<br />

International Refugee Law<br />
Edited by Hélène Lambert, University of Westminster, UK<br />
The Library of Essays in International Law<br />
The essays selected and reproduced in this volume explore<br />
how international refugee law is dynamic and constantly<br />
evolving. The original set of principles, customary rules<br />
and values which were firmly embedded in the human<br />
rights framework are still liable to change in the light of<br />
developments in, for example, international humanitarian<br />
law, international criminal law, migration issues and new<br />
concepts of state participation and responsibility. Thus,<br />
there is a reinforcing dynamic in the development of these<br />
complementary areas of law.<br />
