Features: This book focuses on three major issues: the rules, procedures, and role of international law in international relations, integrating public and private law to discuss the practice of international law in the United States. The fourth edition includes new topics such as international software law, international terrorism, the increasingly important role of international organizations, international courts, and U.S. exceptionalism in international law, reflecting the significant developments in international law after the Cold War. It guides readers to recognize that international law is merely a system designed to establish a sound international order. The writing style throughout is accessible to readers and is suitable for use in conjunction with courses on international law, international human rights law, and international environmental law. It is the ideal choice for readers seeking to understand the increasingly complex state of international law today.
