Research Handbook on International Law and Domestic Legal Systems

Edited by Helmut Philipp Aust, Professor of Public and International Law, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany and Director at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public and International Law, Heidelberg, Germany, Heike Krieger, Professor of Public and International Law, Freie Universität Berlin, Chair Berlin Potsdam Research Group ‘The International Rule of Law- Rise or Decline?’ and Felix Lange, Professor of Public Law, International and European Law, University of Cologne, Germany

‘This timely book explores the dynamic relationship between international and national legal orders, using it as a prism to assess global changes like multipolarity. Expert chapters discuss how such changes impact on national orders and, vice versa, how national practices in relation to international law shape such changes. Written by a diverse group of experts, the chapters make an excellent contribution to the field.’
