In this fully updated and revised edition, the authors explore the evolution, nature and function of international law in world politics and situate international law in its historical and political context. They propose three interdisciplinary 'lenses' (realist, liberal and constructivist) through which to view the role of international law in world politics and suggest that the concept of an international society provides the overall context within which international legal developments occur. These theoretical perspectives offer different ways of looking at international law in terms of what it is, how it works and how it changes. Topics covered include the use of force, international crimes, human rights, international trade and the environment. The new edition also contains more material on non-western perspectives, international institutions and non-state actors and a new bibliography. Each chapter features discussion questions and guides to further reading

In Verfahren mit grenzüberschreitendem Bezug hat die Frage nach den anwendbaren Beweisregeln vielfach entscheidenden Einfluss auf den Verfahrensausgang. Die EU-Verordnungen "Rom I" und "Rom II" beinhalten erstmals europaweit einheitlich geltende beweisrechtliche Kollisionsnormen für das internationale Schuldrecht.Die Arbeit widmet sich zunächst einer umfassenden Analyse dieser Regelungen unter Berücksichtigung der früheren Rechtslage im unvereinheitlichten Recht und der besonderen Systematik des internationalen Beweisrechts als einem Rechtsgebiet an der Schnittstelle von internationalem Privatrecht und internationalem Verfahrensrecht. Auf dieser Grundlage werden sodann sämtliche praxisrelevanten Beweisregeln mit Blick auf das jeweils anwendbare Recht analysiert. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt wird dabei auf die Auswirkungen auf die forensische Praxis gelegt. Schließlich werden Vorschläge für eine Novellierung des internationalen Beweisrechts gemacht
