International Law and the Rise of Nations

This book approaches the international relationship from the conventional international law perspective, which gives very crucial understanding of the current international legal relationship. This is recommended as one of the essential book for my LL.M International Economic Law. Our Library is processing for order and students also will be buying this book.
