Description and Table of Contents

Description

This pioneering work presents a radical critique of the four most influential contemporary theories of international law and world order: those of Morgenthau, McDougal-Laswell, Falk and Tunkin. Clarifying various issues fundamental to international legal theory, the author demonstrates that, despite the collapse of socialism, Marxism still constitutes the most beneficial vehicle for the humanistic grounding of a new jurisprudence.
