Katerina Linos, American Journal of International Law In her masterful work, Is International Law International?, Anthea Roberts convincingly shatters our illusions about international law's universality, and makes the case for comparison in international law. Having already won the American Society of International Law's prestigious Certificate of Merit, the book needs no further praise.
Kevin Crow, Journal of International Economic Law Roberts' work is essential reading for any international lawyer and, indeed, for anyone interested in better understanding international law.
Alessandra Asteriti, Italian Yearbook of International Law There is so much to be commended about this book. It reads almost like a novel, such is its engaging style and wealth of information and insights into the collective minds of international legal communities.
Miriam Bak McKenna, Nordic Journal of International Law In what has already become an instant and award-winning classic of the international legal canon, Anthea Roberts' Is International Law International? provides a welcome insight into how international law is approached across domestic contexts - a process she identifies as "comparative international law". ...

Simultaneously irreverent and serious-minded, Roberts develops an original research agenda that takes her and the reader through the migratory flows of international lawyers around the world, the divergent methods through which they are educated, and the different professional tracks through which they are socialized. The book does not just dissolve international laws myths of universality; it is a nascent sociology of the field of international law and the beginning of a new field of comparative international law. In an era in which Western dominance over international law no longer looks certain, this book provides the tools for a more nuanced understanding of international...
