Description

Considers the US 'attitude' towards international law from 1918 to the present in the context of the rise of the US to sole superpower status and examines literature relating to topics such as the US and treaty law, US participation in international courts and tribunals, and US compliance with its international law obligations in order to assess current theoretical understanding of the political operation of international law and the implications for international law of the US as sole superpower.
