Review

"...The book can be recommended as readable and fairly well integrated, as collective volumes go. It should in particular be read by those who are most in the grip of the ideology that says that this is the best of all possible worlds, that resources are allocatec around the globe by the abstract operations of the market, and that there is no need to worry about the north-south crevasse..." --Detlev F. Vagts, Of the Board of Editors, The American Journal of International Law [Vol. 103, 2009]

"...an indispensable "must read" for law and political science professors. It is also a useful antidote for the false assumption that there is only one true legal system..." --ASIL Newsletter [ISSUE #39: May 2009]

Book Description

Despite - or perhaps because of - the collapse of state socialism, recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in Marxist thought and its reassessment by a new generation of theorists. This volume of essays explores the contemporary relevance of Marxism for the study of international law.
