'This book offers a challenging perspective of the international legal system from Westphalia (1648) to San Francisco (1948) to our contemporary global legal system. It reflects not only a systemic approach but an avant-garde one that gives us the outline of the future evolution of the role of law and legal institutions in tomorrow's evermore globalized society. It is a significant contribution to the field of international legal studies.' M. Cherif Bassiouni, DePaul University College of Law, USA 'This book is concerned with how the international legal system is changing and the implications of globalization for the structure and content of the law. Not everyone will agree with the author's conclusions, but the broad coverage and topical themes of the work should ensure it has a wide and responsive readership.' John Merrills, University of Sheffield, UK 'With this book, Professor Ziccardi Capaldo succeeded in the very difficult task of providing a clear understanding of recent developments in international law, putting the complexity of the legal international order into a coherent theoretical framework, making this contribution engaging and useful to anyone interested in current developments in international legal studies.' The Cambrian Law Review '[This book] identifies crucial structural changes that the international legal system has undergone in recent decades and sets out an impressive argument. What is more, it provides readers with a matrix for analyzing the evolution from traditional international law to modern global law.' German Yearbook of International Law
