'Sociological approaches to international law have gained significant momentum in the course of the last decade. The contributions to this Research Handbook reflect the diversity of sociological theories and illustrate how they can enrich international legal scholarship. The Research Handbook is an excellent guide to the sociology of international law 'from Huber to post-structuralism.'--Christian J. Tams, University of Glasgow, UKChristian J. Tams, University of Glasgow, UK'This Research Handbook offers a timely sociological reading of the functioning of the international legal order, using diverse sociological approaches, spreading from the thought of Max Huber to post-structuralism. It offers a range of the best analyses on the topic and sets a new agenda for the field. Indeed a fascinating book.'--Hélène Ruiz Fabri, Max Planck Institute Luxembourg for Procedural Law, Luxembourg
