Socialism and International Law. The Cold War and its Legacies offers a compelling argument for recognizing the contributions of socialist states to the development of international law. It provides an overview of the early intra-socialist theoretical debates over the role of law in socialist societies and then charts the development of pluralistic socialist approaches to international law. Subsequently, the book details the contributions of socialist states to a variety of core fields of international law, such as national self determination, decolonization, peace, and anti-apartheid. Hence, historians and legal scholars of international law will find this book crucial in developing new research directions.
