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 />

Contributors: Hersch Lauterpacht, A. Claire Cutler, Jan Klabbers, Daniel Thürer,<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 />
